This time of year we are always trying to keep up with our apple tree. We have an apple tree in our yard that produces tons of apples each Fall. In an effort to use them in different and interesting ways, we have made Apple Cookies and Apple Crisp. Recently we used some backyard apples in this Apple Muffins Recipe. The only thing better than making yummy apple muffins is making them with some some little kitchen helpers.

This Apple Muffins Recipe is a great way to use apples. The muffins and tasty and filling and this the perfect recipe to make with kids.

I am excited to be participating in the Kids’ Kitchen Monthly Blog Hop once again. Each month, I am joining some of my favorite kid bloggers, sharing recipes that are perfect to make with kids. This month, we are each sharing recipes using Apples or Pumpkins. Lots of good stuff here to try for Fall. Be sure to check out the links at the bottom of the post for more recipes from the other participating bloggers.

Apple Muffins Recipe

For this recipe, I used my basic muffin recipe and made a few tweaks to account for the addition of the apples and some other spices.

Measuring and mixing have always been some of my kids’ favorite kitchen activities.

I peeled and chopped some apples into small pieces and we added them to our batter. Peeling and chopping is an adults only job in our house.

Once we mixed up the batter for this Apple Muffins Recipe, we scooped it into a muffin pan. You can use cupcake liners if you want or just grease a muffin tin.

You’ll need to let these muffins cool a bit before eating, but they are amazing when served still a bit warm.

You can try this recipe with a variety of apples. Granny Smith are good as are any used in baking.

    Send those little helpers my way as I always need some extra hands in the kitchen (both to cook & eat). As for these muffins. . .well. . .a couple sure would hit the spot right about now. BTW. . .so jealous of your apple tree. I live in the city and you are lucky to come across a blade of grass. . .a fruit tree. . .now that is as rare as a unicorn.

    I adore apples, but oddly enough I’ve never made apple muffins. I’ve done cakes, crisps, pies and more… but never muffins! Not sure why that is, but seeing how nice and simple this is and how wonderful it is to do with kids, I think I’m going to have to give it a shot a little later in the season when our local apples are at their best. Cheers!
