Apple-Cinnamon Muffins image

After combining other apple muffin recipes and making modifications based on my and other reader's suggestions, I decided it was time to write this down as it's own recipe. This is a simple, delicious recipe that makes good use of our home-grown apples.

Ingredients

1 cup grated apple
1 cup peeled, chopped apple
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine grated and chopped apples with white and brown sugars in a small bowl; stir and set aside to sweat for 5 minutes.
Combine all-purpose and wheat flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a second bowl.
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.
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.
