Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Place the 1/4 cup melted butter in another small bowl.
  • Once the muffins are out of the oven, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes.
  • Dip the tops of the warm muffins first into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the coated muffins on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can fold in 1/2 cup of finely diced fresh apple into the batter.
  • Ensure your apple cider is good quality for the best flavor.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
