Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

  3. In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples gently to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  9. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins and allow it to set before serving.
