Apple muffins are a very special kind of pastry. The dough for them is slightly different from the cupcake. It does not involve intensive beating and kneading. The ingredients from which muffins are baked with apples and other fruits are most often simply divided into wet and dry, and then combined in a few quick movements. The resulting rough texture of the dough is a feature of this type of baking.
