Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Gently fold in the diced apples, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
-
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the tops of the muffins.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
