Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  5. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture along with milk; mix until just combined. Fold in remaining dry ingredients and diced apples gently.

  7. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool before serving.
