Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider and sour cream.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the apple cider mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  10. Once the muffins are out of the oven, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, brush the tops generously with the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  11. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of finely diced fresh apple to the batter.
  • Ensure your apple cider is good quality for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; this can result in tough muffins.
  • The topping is best applied while the muffins are still warm.
