Baking is not my forte. I will happily cook a decent vegetarian meal even for 25 people but to bake a simple cake/cookie/biscuit I hesitate a lot. The electric oven in this apartment is really good and one of the goals for this year is to bake as much as possible and to learn as many tricks as possible. Now that Aadhu is in a growing stage she loves to snack a lot. These Apple muffins are perfect for evening snack. It is filling too.
The following measurement yields 6 medium-sized muffins. I used only a wire whisk to mix everything together. You can add nuts if you want. I just used choco chips for toppings. They weren’t dense, the texture was great too. Loved the crumble

Yummm.. two doubts
1. Can I leave apple as chunks and not puree em?
2. What’s a substitute for apple cider vinegar..don’t have it at home
Thanks
Hi Arti I have never baked with Chunky Apples in muffins before. So i wasn’t sure if they will raise evenly..Hence added puree instead. If you want you can try adding pieces and see how it goes ☺️ Also Cider Vinegar helps in giving a lovely light airy texture to cakes & cupcakes.. Baking Soda + Vinegar combination yield this result. You could try substituing with lemon juice..
