Cinnamon & apple muffins

Cinnamon and apple muffins are a delightful treat that combine the warm, aromatic spice of cinnamon with the sweet, juicy flavor of apples. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even for dessert. They are not only delicious but also easy to make, using simple ingredients found in most kitchens. Follow this guide to bake a batch of moist and flavorful cinnamon and apple muffins that everyone will love.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Apples:
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Set them aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
5. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Add Apples:
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
9. Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your cinnamon & apple muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Tips:

- Choose fresh and crisp apples for the best flavor and texture in your muffins. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp varieties work well.

- Make sure to finely chop walnuts to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins for a pleasant crunch in every bite.

- To get a consistent mixture, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together before adding them to the dry ingredients.

- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the muffins before baking.

- Don't overmix the batter; mix until just combined to prevent the muffins from becoming tough.

- Test the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, they are ready!

- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, as this helps maintain their shape.

With your cinnamon and apple muffins now baked to perfection, you have a batch of moist, flavorful, and aromatic treats ready to enjoy. These muffins not only taste delightful but also fill your kitchen with the comforting scent of baked apples and cinnamon.
