2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup apple butter, plus more for swirling on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, combine eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Stir wet ingredients into dry just until combined—do not overmix.
Fold in 3/4 cup apple butter gently for a marbled look.
Spoon batter into muffin cups. Add a small dollop of apple butter on top of each and swirl with a toothpick.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
