Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, pecans or walnuts work well)

1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)

1 tsp cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

            Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

              Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon mixture on top of each muffin.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Apple Cinnamon Muffins warm or at room temperature!
