Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, apple cider, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top of each muffin.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. 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 fresh apple to the batter.
  • Ensure your apple cider is at room temperature for best results.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
