In this post I’ve rounded up new apple recipes I’ve added to my list of recipes to make more often. You’re going to love them. Plus a great added benefit is that you can use all your apple preserves like frozen apple slices, apple pie filling, apple sauce and apple butter to make these apple cinnamon muffins extra sweet!

APPLE CINNAMON MUFFINS RECIPE COLLECTION

Apples also grow abundantly in the summer and autumn months and are easy to pick and preserve for the winter and baking. Wether you have a tree in your yard or not, it’s easy to find one to pick. Learn how we preserve all our apples in 1 weekend in this post!

Apples are my favourite fruit to grow, bake with and preserve. So much so that I’ve got my self all wrapped up in a bit of a love affair with the different varieties, recipes, and so much more. With twenty or so apple trees on our homestead, there are endless possibilities.

Muffins are the baking treat that I grew up on. Loaded with hidden vegetables and fruit, sweetness from applesauce and the fibre from oats moms can feel good about the kids snacking on homemade muffins.

Muffins are a great recipe to make from scratch. They often call for eggs and oil but those ingredients can easily be substituted with apple sauce for a healthier alternative. Try apple butter instead of apple sauce for a sweet cinnamon fall flavour.

THE BEST APPLES FOR MUFFINS

With over 7,500 types of apples in the world and 2,500 varieties grown and available in the United States how do you know which apples are best for baking muffins with?

Apples are a versatile fruit, some are best for eating off the tree, others make the best pies and some are just perfect for muffins.

Varieties to keep an eye out for are Jonagolds, honeycrisps, Braeburn, Winesap and pink lady.

Most people like to bake with Granny Smith apples as they are bright green and have the highest nutrient value but they just aren’t sweet like the apples listed above.

HOW TO MAKE MOIST MUFFINS

Ideally, moist, fluffy and light muffins are the goal of any home baker. Here are some tips to producing the best muffins with any muffin recipe.

Use eggs, butter and milk at room temperature to help form a smooth batter that traps air and expands when heated in the oven.

Use fresh baking powder and baking soda that hasn’t yet expired because they simply won’t work as well as leavening agents.

They key to making muffins that don’t turn into hockey pucks, is to sift the dry ingredients together and mix the wet ingredients separately.

It’s also very important to mix the two together in a way that moistens the batter without any dry ingredients left, but also making sure to not over mix.

The way I do this is by skipping the mix master for my muffins and using bowls, a whisk and a spatula.

HOW TO FREEZE APPLE MUFFINS FOR LATER ON

Once muffins have cooled completely wrap each individual muffin securely with freezer wrap and place in freezer bags. Make sure to label the type of muffin and the date. Muffins can be frozen for up to three months. It’s a great idea to make an extra batch, one for eating and one for freezing for a healthy on the go snack.
