Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend together 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ¾ cup of brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently add the wet mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 to 1.5 cups of diced apples until evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Optionally, sprinkle oats or chopped nuts on top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
