What You’ll Need

Makes 12 muffins

Active Time: 20 minutes 

Total Time: 40 minutes  

Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with butter. 

Step 2 

Core and chop the apples into small pieces (you should have about 1½ cups). 

Step 3 

In a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup melted butter, ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar, 1 egg, and ½ cup buttermilk. 

Step 4 

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the chopped apples. 

Step 5 

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. 

Step 6 

Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before turning out and serving warm. Transfer any leftover muffins to an airtight container and store for up to 3 days.
