Basic cinnamon apple muffins

This Basic Cinnamon Apple Muffins recipe is a delightful blend of warm cinnamon and fresh apples, perfect for breakfast or a snack. The combination of moist apples and sweet raisins adds a unique texture and flavor to these muffins.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
2. Prep the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Set aside.
3. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
5. Add Eggs: Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Add Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
7. Fold in Apples and Raisins: Gently fold the diced apples and raisins into the batter until evenly distributed.
8. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve: Enjoy your muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, or frozen for longer storage.

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start mixing the ingredients.

- Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

- When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. This can lead to dense muffins.

- Chop the apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly within the muffins.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped nuts for a different flavor and texture.

- Lightly grease or line your muffin tin with paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise while baking.

Enjoy these Basic Cinnamon Apple Muffins warm from the oven or at room temperature. They make a great on-the-go breakfast or a tasty treat with a cup of coffee or tea.
