Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Peel and core the apple before dicing. Use an alligator chopper to get finely diced apple. You could also grate the apple, but then the apple will melt into the muffins.
- Sharp cheddar cheese is great in these muffins. I like white cheddar.
- Don't overmix the muffins. Mix only until combined.
- Fill the muffin tins - these muffins don't get huge and poofy.
