The BEST Apple Cinnamon Muffin Recipe

Every fall the apple orchard is a MUST for us and we are always looking for new and yummy things to make with ALL the apples. Therefore, we knew we had to make a delicious and simple apple cinnamon muffin! You guys, they are so light, fluffy, and have so much flavor! The whole family will love having them for a quick breakfast or snack in the afternoon. You can even make a double batch and keep some in the freezer for later!

What You Will Need

• Eggs – these provide the structure in any baked good.
• Applesauce – helps keep the muffins while also adding some more apple flavor!
• Vanilla extract – a dash for flavor.
• Maple syrup – for a bit of sweetness.
• Almond butter – feel free to use any nut butter that you have on hand – cashew butter, etc.
• Baking soda & kosher salt – you always need a little when you are baking!
• Super-fine almond flour & cassava flour – this is a delicious combo to make your muffins grain-free, but you can also use whole wheat flour, regular flour, gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour, etc.
• Ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, allspice, cardamom, & ground nutmeg – an amazing blend of spices to make these muffins full of fall flavors!
• Chopped apple – we used honey crisp apples because they are amazing but feel free to use your favorite!
• Coconut oil or grass-fed butter – use the option here that works for you! Both will get the job done.

What Is The Best Way To Serve These Muffins?

Honestly, they are so moist and fluffy that you could just eat them by themselves, but you could also cut them in half and enjoy them with some cinnamon sugar butter or honey butter!

How Should I Store Apple Cinnamon Muffins?

You can place them in a sealed container at room temperature for about 24 hours, but after that we recommend moving them to the fridge because they don’t have any preservatives in them.

Can I Freeze Apple Cinnamon Muffins?

Absolutely! Make sure you let them fully cool and then you can place them in an airtight container that has paper towel on the top and bottom of the muffins. The paper towel will help with the extra moisture so the muffins don’t get soggy. You can store them like this in the freezer for up to 3 months.
