Ingredients
Scale
- 2 apples (around 200g) peeled, cored and quartered
- 115 g butter
- 120 g milk

- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the topping: 50 g butter
- For the topping: 50 g sugar granulated or caster
- For the topping: 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C / 350F. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
- Add the apple to the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds / speed 5. Set the chopped apple aside.
- Add 115g butter to the bowl. Melt for 2 minutes / 60 degrees / speed 2.
- Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, reserved apple, flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix for 30 seconds / speed 4.
- Use a cookie or ice-cream scoop to divide the mixture equally between the prepared muffin cases.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- For the topping: Add 50g butter to the Thermomix and melt for 2 minutes / 60 degrees / speed 2.
- Mix the 50g sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- While the muffins are still warm, use a pastry brush to brush the tops with a little melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the tops.
Notes
- This recipe was inspired by pastries made in restaurant brunch kitchens, focusing on a tender crumb and structured shape.
- The Thermomix method chops the apples perfectly and creates an aerated batter quickly.
- The final texture should be moist, fluffy, and dotted with small pieces of fruit.
