Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
I love baking apple muffins, and I’ve got the perfect list for you. You’ll need flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the dry mix. For the wet mix, you’ll need melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, yogurt (or sour cream), vanilla extract, and milk.
Don’t forget the star of the show – apples! Use firmer varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady. They hold up well during baking and add a delicious tartness.
If you’re looking for baking substitutes, I’ve got you covered. You can swap yogurt with applesauce or mashed banana for a lighter version. Any type of milk works well, whether it’s dairy or plant-based. For whole wheat flour muffins, just replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour in equal amounts.
- Flour: All-purpose or whole wheat
- Sweeteners: Brown sugar and granulated sugar
- Leavening agents: Baking powder and baking soda
- Spices: Cinnamon and salt
- Wet ingredients: Butter, eggs, yogurt (or substitute), vanilla extract, milk
- Fruit: Diced apples
With these ingredients, you’re all set to make delicious, moist muffins. Everyone will ask for seconds!
Instructions
Are you ready to make apple muffins? Let’s get started! First, heat your oven to 425°F. This high heat helps make perfect muffin tops.
Begin by mixing dry ingredients in a big bowl. In another bowl, mix butter and sugars until smooth. Then, add eggs, yogurt, vanilla, and milk, and stir well.
Next, combine everything gently. Don’t mix too much – a few lumps are fine! Add chopped apples last.
Fill your muffin tin to the top for tall muffins. You can also add crumb topping. A key tip is to bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then at 350°F for 15-18 minutes.
Let the muffins cool before adding vanilla icing. And you’ll have tasty homemade apple muffins!
I love the smell of fresh apple muffins baking in my kitchen. It’s like fall in a muffin tin!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I have some great tips for keeping your apple muffins fresh! Let them cool down after baking. You can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days.
For a longer time, put them in the fridge for up to a week. This keeps them fresh for longer.
Freezing muffins is easy! Wrap each one in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag. They’ll stay yummy for up to 3 months.
When you want to eat them, just thaw at room temperature or microwave them for a few seconds. It’s quick and easy.
Reheating muffins is simple. Warm them in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes. Or, if you’re in a rush, microwave them for 20-30 seconds.
But be careful not to overheat them. They might get tough.
Want to try something new? Use different apple types like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. This makes them even tastier.
For the fluffiest muffins, measure your flour right and mix the batter gently by hand. Happy baking!
