Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, mix the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chopped apples, walnuts, and raisins until evenly distributed.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and sugar on top of each muffin if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
