In another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly, set aside.

Muffin Baking Tips

It’s easier to melt the butter for mixing and allow to cool
After baking the muffins, they may become one on the tray. Let them cool, they should come out easy with a bit of a hangover of strudel
You can use frozen apples, they may brown a bit while you are making the muffins, that is ok
Using an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tin goes much quicker than a spoon
If you don’t want the strudel, skip it
Use a soft apple like granny smith or fuji or gala
