Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) peeled and diced Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no clumps remain.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold gently with a silicone spatula until just combined, leaving a few streaks of flour.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 liners, filling them nearly to the top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Apply the glaze to the muffins once they are warm but not hot.
