Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Hello Friends! How is your fall season going?

Are you just loving all of the fall produce? Today I am featuring the great taste of apples in a recipe.

Why This Recipe?

These are the best fresh apple cinnamon muffins. This recipe is an easy one when you are looking for some fall flavor and want to use fresh apples!

These easy muffins are a nice treat for breakfast, brunch or a snack and they come together very quickly.

The delicious flavor of apples and cinnamon are wonderful together in this bakery-style muffin. Topped with a caramelized crumble, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch or as a lunch box snack.

Streusel muffins are always a treat and these have wonderful bits of apple in them.

While this recipe takes a few spices, most of these are items you already have on hand.

Apple Sour Cream Muffin Ingredients

Apples – of course, they are the star of this show. I like to use Granny Smith or Gala apples for this recipe, but honestly, it works with just about any variety of apples. 

Butter – Probably my favorite ingredient of all time.- LOL! But seriously, I always use real butter in my recipes, although I try to keep it to a minimum. Margarine will also work in this recipe just fine.

Sour cream - The sour cream makes these muffins moist and soft.

Variations on this recipe.

Nuts - You can easily add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe.

How to make Apple Cinnamon Muffins

The full recipe is below, but here are some photos of the process.

First, you will need to peel and dice your apples. I used Granny Smith for this recipe and I use this peeler for all of my produce. It works so easily!

Then it is a process of:

  1. Mixing the dry ingredients.
  2. Adding the eggs.
  3. Making the topping.
  4. Pouring into a baking pan.

    Apples are great for baking because they add moisture. I bet this recipe is wonderful, apples and cinnamon you can't go wrong with it.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
