What are Apple Muffins?
Apple muffins are muffins that include apples in them. Some recipes are heavily spiced with cinnamon sugar while some versions include a streusel on top. This version is lightly spiced with cinnamon before being topped with chunks of sweet apples.
Pro Tips
- Make sure the batter doesn’t have any lumps. Using an electric mixer is great for making a smooth batter!
- Use apples that will hold their shape during baking such as macintosh, spartan, cortland, or Granny smith.
- Use a scoop when you divide the batter between the muffin cups to ensure the muffins are even sizes.
- Don’t over bake the muffins. You can test their doneness by inserting a skewer into the middle of one to see if it comes out clean.
What to Serve with Apple Muffins?
These apple muffins can be served dusted with powdered sugar, and are wonderful with coffee or tea to cut through the sweetness. If you love your muffins cut open and spread with butter, you can serve them that way, too.
What Types of Apples Should I Use for Baking?
The best apples for baking are ones that will hold their shape in the heat of the oven rather than dissolving into mush. For that reason, you should search for apples like macintosh, Golden Delicious, cortlands, spartan, pink lady, or any other apple that you love that holds up well in the oven.
Are These Apple Muffins Dairy-Free?
Yes, they don’t contain any butter or milk, making them perfect for those on a dairy-free diet. Instead, they use vegetable oil for the fat, which also acts as a liquid along with the eggs.
Can I Make Apple Muffins With Pears?
Pears are a wonderful sweet fruit, so why not use them in place of apples in this recipe? Just make sure they are ripe but still firm and sliceable to ensure that they hold up well in the oven.
How to Store Apple Muffins
These apple muffins will keep well in a sealed container for a few days. While they can sit at room temperature, you can place them in the fridge for longer storage if you prefer.
