2 1/2 cups flour
¾ cup granulated sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin cups.
Prepare the chopped apples, keeping them consistent in size. Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold the chopped apples into the batter.
Add the batter to the muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then bake for 22 - 25 minutes until golden and set. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or cool and enjoy!

Notes

Please double-check amounts when using the multiplying feature in the recipe card.
If you are looking for gram measurements, toggle to the “metric” version in the recipe card.
Chop your apples into small, even pieces so they will be evenly dispersed, have time to soften, and won't sink to the bottom of the tin.
Mix only until combined. Overmixing may reduce the fluffiness of the crumb.
Make a double batch and freeze the extras for another day!
