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
Instructions
- 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.
