Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons applesauce
• 1 cup grated apple
• 1 cup peeled, chopped apple
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup whole wheat flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

Combine grated and chopped apples with white and brown sugars in a small bowl; stir and set aside to sweat for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine all-purpose and wheat flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a second bowl.

Step 4

Stir eggs, melted butter, olive oil, applesauce, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Add apple mixture and mix until well combined. Add flour mixture and stir until completely mixed; batter will be thick like cookie dough. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 19 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
