Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (about 175°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt, and both types of sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and yogurt (or sour cream).
  4. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples and swirl in the mixed sugar and cinnamon for added flavor.
Baking
  1. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for about 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling with glaze if desired.

Enjoy these muffins warm with coffee or tea. They freeze well for about three months.
