Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quark 250 g
  • 2 apples e.g., Granny Smith or Elstar
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 200 g
  • 1/2 cup sugar 100 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder 1 packet
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup sunflower oil 80 ml
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven and line pan:

    Heat oven to 350°F (180°C, 160°C convection). Place paper liners in a muffin pan.

  • Peel, core, and dice apples:

    Remove apple skins, take out cores, and dice into small chunks.

  • Beat quark, eggs, and oil:

    In a large bowl, beat quark, eggs, and sunflower oil until uniform.

  • Mix dry ingredients into batter:

    Mix in sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; blend until a smooth batter forms.

  • Fold in apple chunks:

    Carefully incorporate apple chunks into the batter, ensuring even distribution.

  • Fill muffin cups:

    Portion batter equally into the muffin cups, filling each roughly three-quarters full.

  • Bake until golden and clean:

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.

  • Cool in pan then on rack:

    Allow muffins to rest in the pan for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool fully.

  • Dust with powdered sugar:

    Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
