Ingredients
- 500 ml (2 cups) of all-purpose flour
- 10 ml (2 tsp) of baking powder
- 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of salt
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) of softened unsalted butter
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) of milk
- 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) of peeled and diced apples
- 250 ml (1 cup) of grated cheddar cheese
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and the salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs and milk, then beat again.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms. Add the apples and cheddar cheese, then stir gently.
- Butter the twelve cavities of a muffin tin, then divide the batter among them.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 15 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
