Ingredients

* 2 cups all-purpose flour about 240g
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 7.5ml
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2.5ml
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 15ml
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (115g)
* 1 cup granulated sugar about 200g
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
* 1/2 cup sour cream 120ml
* 2 cups diced apples peeled and cored

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the sour cream, followed by the diced apples.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let Apple Spice Muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

1. Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
2. Don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure a soft and fluffy muffin.
3. For an extra crunch, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
4. Storing the muffins in an airtight container will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
