Make a well in the middle and add the eggs, milk and oil. Stir all together until blended. Stir all together until blended. Stir in the apple.
Step 5:
Spoon the mix into the muffin tin and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer comes our clean when inserted into the middle. Cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
If you like the flavour of apple in your bakes. Try making our mini apple cheesecakes. They're divine!

Recipe Reviews
Very easy to make, and so soft and light. I didn't have any cinnamon, so used ground mixed spice instead (which I prefer). This is a generous recipe and had more than enough for 12 muffins.
Highly recommend, thank you for the recipe.
Turned out amazing, made these with apples from the garden and added 1/2 a teaspoon of pumpkin spice for an autumnal flavour. Will definitely make these again.
made these a few times now as they have become a September/October bake with apples from my garden. they are lovely and easy to make, tasty mid morning muffin i often eat them along side an apple as well.
Very nice cupcakes, next time I shall make sure to use the correct kind of oil, but they tasted okay despite the wrong oil, so I imagine they would taste splendid if made properly.
Made these today. Really delicious, very moist. My son is currently scoffing his way through them. I seemed to have leftover batter though (I filled the cupcake cases maybe 2/3 full as I didn't know how much they might rise). Put the extra in a loaf tin making a mini loaf with it. Yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
Love these muffins, soft, tasty and smell delicious, easy and quick to make, made these with apples from my garden which were baking apples as apposed to dessert apples but worked just as well. Made these several times across the years but i'm sure this recipe has been updated and improved and it is improved :)
