Why this recipe works

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.

    In another bowl whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the apples.

  4. Step 4

  5. Step 5

    Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden and a tester comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then move to a rack.

For recipes where crispness matters, use an oven, toaster oven, skillet, or air fryer rather than relying only on a microwave.
