Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the apple cider, diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It’s okay to have a few lumps!
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins on top if desired.
Baking
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh apple cider from local farmers' markets or grocery stores. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for about a week. Freezing is also an option for up to 3 months.
