Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) using the upper and lower heat setting.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sunflower oil, and yogurt until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Fold them together until just combined.
  5. Peel and core your chosen apples, then cut them into small chunks. Fold these apple pieces into the batter.
  6. Line your muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup. Pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Mix together some sugar and cinnamon to create a sweet topping. Sprinkle this mixture over the muffin batter in each cup.
  8. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
  9. Once baked, remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
