Hunnybunch’s Special Apple Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 McIntosh apples, peeled and coarsely chopped, or more to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease or line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Beat sugar and oil together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat eggs and vanilla extract into sugar mixture until smooth, about 1 minute.

Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; beat into sugar mixture until batter is just combined. Fold apples and walnuts into batter; spoon into muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
