1 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp kosher salt

2 tsp apple pie spice

2 Lrg eggs, room temperature and beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and apple pie spice.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, oil, apple cider, and milk.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until very few lumps remain. (The batter will be a bit runny.)

5. Fill the prepared muffin tin about 2/3 full of batter per cup. Bake for 20-22 minutes.

6. Remove from the oven and let rest in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

7. Once cooled, melt butter in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and apple pie spice. Dip the tops of muffins in the melted butter. Then, roll the top in the sugar and apple pie spice mixture to coat. Place back on the rack and repeat with the remaining muffins.
