Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced fresh apples gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
