3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Fold in the eggs, melted butter, and diced apples, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Let the batter rest while your oven heats up.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup just below the top.
