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
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.
