-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Muffin
1 1/2 cups Fuji apple -- diced, (from 1 [8- to 9-oz.] apple)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar -- packed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup salted butter -- melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs -- lightly beaten
Spice Mixture
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup salted butter -- melted, (4 oz.)
You get sugar, spice, and everything nice with this version of a
classic apple muffin. This tender treat has ideal texture; one test
kitchen professional said they "aren't so soft they will fall apart,
but they are almost cake-like in their softness." These soft muffins
would be a great grab-and-go breakfast in the morning or a snack in
the afternoon, especially for a nagging sweet tooth. There's no
better way to welcome a new family to the neighborhood or make a
friend's day than with something homemade, and these apple muffins
are sure to make anyone smile. One test kitchen professional said
these sugar-and-spice apple muffins will remind you of an apple-cake
doughnut, while another said these muffins are "churro-esque."
Although the recipe calls for Fuji, you can use whichever apple
variety you prefer. The test kitchen professionals who like Fuji
apples said they're sweet and stay crisp. Some argued for golden
delicious apples because they're tender and bake well, and others
said honeycrisp or gala apples would work, too. A tip from the test
kitchen: Don't over-work these muffins - they only need mixing until
it is just combined, which helps keep them super soft.

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a 12- cup muffin pan with
cooking spray or line with baking liners.
Place apple and granulated sugar in a medium bowl; toss to coat, and
let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt,
and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Stir milk, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs into apple mixture; add
to flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide batter evenly
among prepared muffin cups.
Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes
out clean, 18 to 19 minutes.
While muffins bake, stir together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon,
ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and ground cloves in a
bowl. Place 1/2 cup melted salted butter in a separate small bowl.
Remove muffins from oven and cool in pan 5 minutes; remove muffins to
a wire rack, and let cool 10 minutes. Carefully dip tops of warm
muffins in melted butter; dredge tops in spice mixture or sprinkle
spice mixture over tops of muffins. Return muffins to wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
