  • Warm and sweet with a hint of spice, these muffins are so comforting.
  • Apple adds a fresh, sweet, and fruity flavor that is irresistible.
  • There are undertones of buttery richness, making them moist and tender.

What You’ll Need for Apple Muffins

  • Apples: Choose apples that are tart and firm, such as Granny Smiths. Other great options include Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
    PRO TIP: Peeling the apples isn’t necessary however I do prefer the texture with peeled apples.
  • Flour: I use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in this recipe. You can use only all-purpose flour if preferred.
  • Sugar: Brown and white sugar add sweetness and give these muffins the perfect texture.
  • Baking soda: Baking soda helps the muffins rise.
  • Spices: I love the fragrant combination of cinnamon and apples. Buy a store-bought apple spice or try this homemade apple pie spice, which can be used all Fall long in baked oatmeal or apple crumble.
  • Butter: I use unsalted butter, if using salted, skip the butter in the recipe.

How to Make Apple Muffins

  1. Prepare apples (recipe below).
  2. Whisk dry ingredients. Add apple pieces and toss.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add the dry mixture.
  4. Mix. Add to muffin tins. Bake.

Keeping Muffins Fresh

Store apple muffins at room temperature or in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to a week. Enjoy them as-is or warm them in the microwave if desired.

Freeze muffins on a sheet pan to prevent them from sticking together. Transfer them to a zippered bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
