Calories: 212kcal

2 ½ cups SR flour (or 2 ½ cups plain/all purpose flour + 5 teaspoons baking powder)
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

Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees celsius / 430 degrees fahrenheit (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.
Add remaining ingredients, apart from second measure of cinnamon and raw sugar (to sprinkle on top of muffins), and stir gently to combine. Don't over-stir.
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 / 375 degrees fahrenheit (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.

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.
