Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh apples like Honeycrisp or Gala.
  • You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking for an extra sweet crunch.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
