Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, thick
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
  • Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
  • In another bowl, whisk brown sugar, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined, leaving a few streaks
  • Gently fold in diced apples
  • Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full
  • Bake for 18 to 21 minutes until tops are domed and a toothpick inserted shows moist crumbs
  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack
  • Serve warm or at room temperature

Notes

Greek yogurt adds moisture without fat, ensuring a tender crumb.
For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze individual muffins for longer storage.
Top with a light cinnamon sugar sprinkle for extra flavor, if desired.
