Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ginger or pie spice (optional)

2 large eggs

1/3 cup cooled melted butter or oil

1/4 cup milk

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup grated fresh apple

1 cup raspberries

Sugar in the raw, for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. If using, add the ground cinnamon, ginger or pie spice.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Whisk in the cooled melted butter or oil, milk and vanilla extract. Stir in the grated apple.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Stir in the raspberries until just combined.
  4. Fill each paper liner in the prepared muffin tin at least three-quarters of the way with batter. If desired, sprinkle the tops with sugar in the raw.
  5. Bake the muffins until they rise and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 25 minutes. Let cool a few minutes in the pan, then remove the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
