Spiced Apple Muffins

Classic Spiced Apple Muffins require only one bowl and a few pantry staples. Bonus: they smell amazing while they bake and taste like an old fashioned donut! 

Servings 10 donut muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup salted butter, chilled
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup raw grated apple

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 10-12 muffin tins and set aside.

  2. Whisk all dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in butter. Form a well in the flour mixture, then mix together egg, milk, and grated apple (trying not to mix in too much flour until the liquids are combined). Then fold flour mixture in with egg mixture until just combined. Do not over mix. Batter will be sticky. 

  3. Divide batter among greased muffins tins, and then bake for 20-22 minutes. To test for doneness, a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the muffin.

Recipe Notes

If making mini muffins, they will bake in around 12-15 minutes.
