• Scatter flour across batter surface, followed by baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk 10 times until the flour is incorporated - some lumps is fine.
• Stir through apple -minimum stirs just to disperse.
• Scoop batter into muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop - filling it all the way to the top. If using a scooper, leave it the slight ball shape (see video) - don't smooth the top. You should get 12 (see Note 3).
• Sprinkle with sugar (if using - makes surface slightly crispy), place muffins in the oven.
