Apple Cinnamon Muffins

With this neat muffin recipe, you can make muffins from scratch without too much hassle or difficulty, and with ingredients that are usually already on hand. As with all homemade muffins, make sure not to overmix the batter when adding the dry ingredients.

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped peeled apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottoms of 12 medium muffin cups, or line with paper baking cups.

In a large bowl, beat together the milk, apple, oil, and egg with a fork or whisk until well-mixed. Stir in flour, ground cinnamon, sugar, baking powder, and salt all at once until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. If paper baking cups were used, remove muffins immediately to cool on a wire rack. If baked in greased pan, wait 5 minutes before removing muffins.
