- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup turbinado sugar for topping
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a crunchy topping.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of finely diced apples to the batter.
- Ensure your apple cider is not too sweet, as this can affect the overall sweetness of the muffins.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
