Equipment

  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Digital kitchen scale
  • 1 Muffin pan
  • 12 Muffin liners

Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 150 g white granulated sugar

  • In another bowl, add the white and brown sugar, milk, butter, and oil. Whisk until homogenous in consistency.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until no dry ingredients are left.
  • Fold in the cubed apples and spread the batter between the muffin liners so they’re ⅔ full.
