Apple Recipes

Whether you're making something sweet or savory, apples bring a flavor and texture that takes your meal up a notch. From classic apple pies to fresh salads, the options are endless! And hey, they're not just tasty - apples are packed with nutrients for a little health boost.

Ingredients For Apple Muffins Recipe

Apples - any baking apples work well. Granny Smith apples are a top choice for that delicious apple flavor!
Flour: Regular all-purpose flour works perfectly!
Salt: Just a pinch for that flavor boost.
Baking powder: Helps those muffins rise to perfection!
Cinnamon: A dash for that cozy, warm flavor.
Large egg: For that fluffy texture!
Sugar: Sweetens up those muffins just right.
Brown sugar: Adds that extra depth of flavor.
Butter: Gives that rich, buttery taste.
Milk: Any type will do the trick!

How To Make Easy Apple Muffins

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.

Pour the flour, baking powder, salt, and a dash of cinnamon into a medium bowl and stir to combine.

Measuring and mixing have always been some of my kids' favorite kitchen activities. So I gave my daughter a whisk and let her mix the egg, sugar, brown sugar, and milk in a large bowl.

Next, stir in the cooled, melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

I peeled and chopped some apples into small pieces, and we added them to our batter. Peeling and chopping are adults' only jobs in our house.

Once we mixed up the batter for this Apple Muffins Recipe, we scooped it into a 12 cup muffin pan. You can use cupcake liner muffin cups if you want or just grease a muffin tin.

You'll need to let these muffins cool a bit on a wire rack before eating, but they are excellent when served still a bit warm.

These muffins make great snacks for lunch boxes! They also work well when topped with this Apple Butter Recipe.

FAQs For Apple Muffins

What kind of apples are best for muffins?

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

What is the secret to making moist muffins?

Brown sugar helps to keep moisture in a muffin and that is why I add it to this recipe. Also, the apples in this muffin recipe help keep the muffins moist.

How do I store apple muffins?

You can store the muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I like to put a paper towel in the bottom of the container before placing the muffins inside. You can also store these in a container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Muffin Recipes

Muffin recipes are popular because of how versatile and yummy they are! Whether you're just starting or a baking pro, muffins are a fun and quick treat you can customize to suit your taste. From fruity to nutty to spicy, these muffins can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack.

Tools For Baking Muffins

Having the right tools makes it a breeze to bake muffins. Grab some mixing bowls for your wet and dry ingredients and some measuring cups and spoons. A standard 12-cup muffin tin works for most recipes, but silicone cups are a handy alternative.

While a cooling rack is optional, it helps muffins cool evenly. An electric mixer can speed things up, but you can also mix these by hand. You can find all these tools on Amazon.
