STAY-MOIST APPLE MUFFINS!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
• Brush a 12 hole, standard muffin tin with melted butter, or line with paper cases. (Note 3)
• Place butter and brown sugar in a bowl, whisk to combine.
• Add milk, then egg and vinegar. Whisk to combine.
• Scatter flour across batter surface, followed by baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk 10 times until the flour is incorporated - some lumps is fine.
• Stir through apple -minimum stirs just to disperse.
• Scoop batter into muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop - filling it all the way to the top. If using a scooper, leave it the slight ball shape (see video) - don't smooth the top. You should get 12 (see Note 3).
• Sprinkle with sugar (if using - makes surface slightly crispy), place muffins in the oven.
• Immediately turn down to 180C/350F.
• Bake for 20 minutes (standard) or 18 minutes (fan / convection) , or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool.
• Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container - it will stay moist for up to 5 days. These also freeze very well.

BEST EVER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened, but do not beat. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.
• Variations: Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup fresh blueberries. Raisin Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped raisins. Date Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped dates. Cheese Muffins: Fold in 1 cup grated sharp yellow cheese. Bacon Muffins: Fold 1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, broken into bits.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden.
