These Apple Cinnamon Muffins are delicious… full of moist apple chunks and lots of cinnamon! Plus 2 out of 3 kids approved! The one who didn’t just wasn’t a fan of the apple pieces.
How to make Apple Cinnamon Muffins
These muffins require one extra step than normal and that is sauteing the apples and cinnamon in a pan for a few minutes to soften them before they are added to the batter. The recipe below makes 24 muffins but it could easily be cut in half!
If you make the entire batch of 24 but don’t think they will be finished within a few days, place them in an air tight container and freeze for later. They will stay in the freezer for a couple months and can be pulled out to defrost the night before you want them!
