04 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
05 - 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

→ Additional

12 - 225 grams peeled and finely chopped apples (about 1–2 medium apples)
13 - Optional topping: 25 grams brown sugar mixed with 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined to preserve tenderness; avoid overmixing.
05 - Carefully fold the peeled and finely chopped apples into the batter to distribute evenly without overworking.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over each muffin to create a spiced crust.
08 - Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For extra moistness, use apples with a higher moisture content like Fuji or Gala.
