Spiced Apple Cider Muffins are the perfect fall breakfast — full of warm spices and apple goodness. These fluffy muffins are easy to put together and share for any occasion.
0 Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with baking cups, then spritz with baking spray. Set aside.
1 Measure [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon apple pie spice" uid="2"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="3"] in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. These are the dry ingredients. Set aside.
2 Combine [wprm-ingredient text="¾ cup apple butter" uid="4"] with [wprm-ingredient text="1 cup granulated sugar" uid="5"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup spiced apple cider" uid="6"] in a large bowl. Whisk together until combined and smooth.
3 Break the [wprm-ingredient text="2 large eggs" uid="7"] into a smaller bowl, and pour into the apple butter mixture with [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract" uid="8"]. Whisk together until completely incorporated.
4 Slowly sprinkle the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined.
5 Scoop the batter into the prepared baking cups. (I added 4 tablespoons of batter to each.)
6 Mix the remaining [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons granulated sugar" uid="10"] with the remaining [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon apple pie spice" uid="11"] in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the tops of the muffins, then transfer to the preheated oven.
7 Bake the muffins for 25-28 minutes, or until the tops have browned slightly and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
8 Let the muffins cool for 15-20 minutes, then enjoy with a favorite breakfast beverage!
