These cozy apple cider muffins are soft, tender, and topped with a delightful cinnamon sugar crust. Perfect for chilly fall mornings or as a sweet treat to pair with coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the apple cider, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.’, ‘Don’t overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.’, ‘If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or apple cider to loosen it.’, ‘Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping from about six inches above the muffins for an even layer.’, ‘Test for doneness with a toothpick or skewer; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.’]
