Apple Spice Muffins

October 24, 2019 by Naomi Andres 7 Comments

Apple Spice Muffins -- the perfect breakfast to start a chilly Autumn day!  These super fluffy muffins are filled with pieces of apple and deliciously spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.

FYI,  I highly recommend eating one of these muffins warm out of the oven smeared with a generous pat of butter.  Just do it.  Honestly SO good!  I'm not the type of person who will just spread butter on everything I eat, but I love eating these muffins with butter!

Here are some of my other muffin recipes that you probably need to try:

Sea Salt Caramel Chip Banana Muffins -- I LOVE these banana muffins, I mean, salted caramel in a muffin?!  Oh yeah!

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins-- enough said.  Run, don't walk, to make these muffins!!

Carrot Muffins -- these carrot muffins will make you feel like you're eating carrot cake for breakfast!

Zucchini Lemon Poppyseed Muffins --  Insanely moist and amazing flavour!

Buttery Date Bran Muffins -- speaking of butter and muffins, these bran muffins are the best I have ever made!

And many more!

The dark brown sugar, buttermilk, and applesauce in these muffins add extra moisture to these apple muffins.  I love to add a little sprinkle of raw turbinado sugar to the top of each muffin before baking to create a crunchy topping!

Equipment

  • 12-count muffin tin
  • parchment paper muffin liners
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups & spoons
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 ½ cups peeled & finely chopped apples
  • 1 tablespoon raw turbinado sugar, to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 12-count muffin tin with parchment paper muffin liners.
  • Stir together the melted butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and applesauce and stir until combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the chopped apples.
  • Fill each muffin liner to the top with batter and sprinkle a little bit of raw sugar on top of each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 or 4 days.

    I think I'm getting addicted to your recipes. 😂 These muffins are amazing in my books because they are (1) super easy and fast, (2) use basic ingredients that I already had in the kitchen, and (3) so yummy and fall-ish tasting! (If that's a thing. 😂) Keep 'em coming!
