Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups SR flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup greek or natural yoghurt (unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 90 grams butter (melted)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 2 apples (peeled, cored, one grated and one chopped into roughly 1cm cubes)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons raw sugar

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
  • Prepare cupcake tins by lining with (14) patty pans.
  • Sift flour and first measure of cinnamon into large mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk to combine, breaking up any sugar lumps by rubbing between your fingers.

  • Spoon mixture into patty pans.
  • Combine second measure of cinnamon and raw sugar and sprinkle over tops of muffins.
  • Place into oven and bake for 5 minutes before turning oven temperature down to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Bake for a further 12 minutes (or until a metal skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean).
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before easing each muffin from the tin and placing on a cooling rack.

Notes

TIP:
Be careful not to over-stir as this will ruin the texture if your muffins!
Q. What are the best apples for this recipe?
I like to use Granny Smith or other cooking apples such as Braeburn, Fuji or Pink Lady.
Q. How long will the muffins keep?
You can keep enjoying them for a couple of days. Store them in an airtight container.
I like to freshen mine in the air fryer for a few minutes before eating.
Q. Can you freeze these muffins?
These muffins are also perfect for freezing and should last a few months in the freezer.
