Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the apricot preserves and apricot chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and turbinado sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the muffin batter for a sweet and crunchy topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the wet ingredients.
- These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the microwave or oven for a quick treat!
- Feel free to substitute other fruits like peaches or cherries in place of apricots for a delicious variation.
