Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 ⅔ cups (333 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (73 g) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (245 g) buttermilk, room temperature
Apples
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, finely diced
- 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons apple pie spice
Maple Glaze
- ¼ cup (79 g) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, oil, and sugars until smooth.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.
- To the wet ingredients, add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Set aside.
Apples
- In a small bowl, mix together apples, granulated sugar, and apple pie spice.
- Gently fold apples into muffin batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. (They should be filled to the top of the muffin liner!) Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. As the muffins are baking, make the glaze.
Glaze
- To a microwave-safe bowl, add butter and maple syrup. Warm it up in 30-second intervals until fully incorporated. (You could also use a saucepan over medium-low heat.)
- Stir in confectioners' sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
