Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (preferably Granny Smith)

Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Optional: Extra sugar and cinnamon for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg. Then stir in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and walnuts or pecans if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ full. For an added touch, sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top of each muffin.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
