1/2 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup olive oil (or melted butter)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped crisp apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and grated cheddar cheese until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until frothy.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Add Apples: Fold in the chopped apples gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake: Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm.
