Hints and Tips
- You can use ANY variety of apples when making this recipe and while I prefer to leave the apple peel on, you can certainly peel your apple first if you prefer.
- If your kids are like mine and like to eat just half an apple (and then leave it lying around the house, but let's not talk about that!) this recipe is a perfect way to use those half eaten apples, or even pieces of sliced apple that are leftover from snacks or their lunch boxes.
- Store the cooked muffins in an airtight container and enjoy within four days.
- To freeze, place in a freezer safe container and store for up to two months.
- This recipe will make approximately 18 standard sized muffins. You can make larger bakery style or smaller mini muffins, please note the cooking time will vary.

I made these muffins this afternoon, loved by all, even my fussy 7y/old.
Made as mini muffins and got 36 in total. Great size for a lunchbox treat.
Lauren Matheson says
That's so lovely to hear!
Shae says
I’ve made these 3 times and every time they are so stuck to the muffin cases they are nearly bin worthy ? What am I doing wrong?!
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Shae, Sorry to hear the muffins are sticking. It may possibly be the type/brand of muffin cases you are using? I'd suggest lightly greasing the muffin cases next time to see if that helps.
Rachelle Leslie says
I used raw sugar and instead of adding it all to the recipe I kept about a 1/3 of a cup and sprinkled it on the muffins before I popped then into the oven. It gave them a lovely crunchy top with very little effort and no extra sugar.
Lorrie Roa says
Great tip on how to get muffins not to stick. This recipe looks fabulous! My son loves apples and cinnamon AND baking, so we are going to have to try this soon. It reminds me of a recipe I used to make with my mom when I was little that I called “Applesauce Muffins”. I never use liners for my muffins. I just spray the pan, and the muffins don’t create extra garbage with the liners. My son is on a huge muffin kick right now and this came at the perfect time! I was wondering what to do with the “leftover” buttermilk I had in the frig. These muffins will do the trick. Thanks for sharing!
Lucy says
Thanks Lorrie! I hope your son enjoys them! xx
Cam says
These were delicious! I had no milk so I used cream. I also used organic wholemeal wholemeal pastry flour instead of the SR flour.
I would use less sugar next time.
Lucy says
Fantastic!!
