Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) before you start mixing the ingredients.

- Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

- When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. This can lead to dense muffins.

- Chop the apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly within the muffins.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped nuts for a different flavor and texture.

- Lightly grease or line your muffin tin with paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise while baking.
