Spray muffin tins with bakers spray or coat well with shortening or butter and flour, making sure to discard any excess flour from the tins after coating.<br \/>\n&#8211; Sift together 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Mix in vanilla.<br \/>\n&#8211; Gently fold in flour mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined. Fold in diced apples and scoop mixture into prepared muffin tins, filling about 2\/3 to \u00be full. Bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes.<br \/>\n&#8211; Prepare topping for muffins while the muffins are baking by melting the butter and allowing to cool slightly. Pour butter into a separate bowl sized easy for dipping tops of muffins. Mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl and set aside.<br \/>\n&#8211; Once muffins have baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the muffin tin. Then, remove each muffin and brush the butter on with a pastry brush (or dip into the melted butter) and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place onto a plate to finish cooling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INGREDIENTS 2 cups all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons for coating apples 1\u00bd teaspoons baking powder \u00bd teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon + \u00bd teaspoon for coating apples 2 cups diced apples \u00bd cup unsalted butter , room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract \u00bd cup milk &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- FOR &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/breads-muffins\/apple-cinnamon-muffins\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Apple Cinnamon Muffins&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":161,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-163","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/163\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":164,"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/163\/revisions\/164"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes2.thecreativepage.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
