Ingredients

1 1/2 cups apple cider
3/4 cup butter melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 egg(s)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Prepare the apple cider by simmering it in a small saucepan for about 15-20 minutes until reduced in half (to about 3/4 cup). Cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a muffin pan or insert liners for 16 muffins.
In a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider, butter, sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Add the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Mix well with a spoon or spatula utensil.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups and fill to 2/3 full (3 tablespoons in each cup).
Sprinkle each muffin with 1-2 teaspoons of Sugar In The Raw. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
