We Love Apple Muffins!
Muffin recipes are a go-to breakfast in our home. We like to whip up a batch and pull a few out of the freezer each morning for a quick grab-and-go easy breakfast idea or after school snack. We love that these muffins are studded with pops of juicy fruit for a breakfast, brunch idea, baby shower or any time of the year!

how to make apple muffins
3 medium apples yield about 2-2½ cups of chopped apples Peel the apple, slice it into quarters, and cut out the core and seeds. Slice the quarters in half for 8 wedges. Dice the apple into small pieces. This is your preference but should be about the size of a blueberry. When adding the apples to the batter don’t use an electric mixer to stir, instead, use a spatula to fold the apples evenly into the batter.
