Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until mixed thoroughly.
  3. In another bowl, blend granulated sugar, light brown sugar, egg, Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Allow ingredients like egg and Greek yogurt to reach room temperature beforehand for a smoother batter. Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid density, and always cool muffins completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
