Reviews
I would double the topping next time.
Simple recipe with great results!
These were very bland, no sweetness at all. They were 1/2″ high on the edges and 1″ high in the middle, I won’t make these again. After writing this review, I made the last bath of muffins and filled the muffin cups to the brim. These muffins were 3/4″ high and did not run over the brim while baking. Still, I won’t make again.
They were delicious! I did change 1/4 c sugar and 1/4 c stevia.
This was delicious. I reduced the sugar to 1/3 C, added 2 medium apples. I diced one and shredded the other. I also added 1/4 C of melted butter. Didn’t add any topping, They were sweet enough but not a dessert. Had 2 for breakfast right out of the oven with butter and they were delicious. Next time I’ll increase the cinnamon for more flavor. These changes reduced carbs even more.
I like simple plain muffins but not ones that are super plain I like chunky muffins to eat for breakfast and these are exceptional for that. thank you!
This was a tasty, light, and easy to put together muffin. Used a large Royal Gala apple because they soften quickly and baked at 375 for 23 minutes on convection bake. My only complaint is they had a bit of an oily taste. I will replace oil for melted butter next time.
This was delicious!! I made the apple sauce from scratch because all of my applesauce pouches were expired 🙁 but it was super easy! Two apples cut up, a few quick squeezes of bottled lemon juice, about a half cup of water and some cinnamon. I put it in a pan and simmered for about 15 mins adding some more water when I saw it was dry. Then I pureed it in a small portable blender I have and voila! It was just a little over 1/2 a cup – which was perfect for this recipe! Since the apple sauce was hot, I folded it in after I mixed the wet and dry ingredients and folded in the cubed apples afterwards. A few other adjustments I made (but weren’t necessary! just felt like doing it) was sprinkled some pumpkin spice blend (I’d say about 1/4 tsp) into the dry mix and I used two cut up apples for the fresh apples at the end – mainly because I wanted to get rid of them all before everything started to rot 😉 Thank you so much to the maker of this recipe! It’s very versatile and I think adding things like mini chocolate chips or walnuts would add to the texture nicely! I also was able to do this super fast – which was great for my sweet tooth! haha Saving this gem for the holidays!
Flavourless, dense the batter was very dry (impossible to mix, i had to increase the milk). Definitely increase the sugar and applesauce if you make them. Shredding the apples will probably be nicer too.
These came out beautiful and delicious. My family has a new favorite recipe for apple muffins. I’m making my second batch today. Btw- they freeze great.
These were absolutely delicious! I followed the advice of a few others and increased the applesauce and brown sugar to 3/4 of a cup each. I also doubled the topping and apples in the batter just because I love lots of both. They turned out fantastic.
Delicious! Very moist! I added a glaze drizzle to the top and made my own applesauce with out sugar. Will be making this again. I also posted on my food page and gave you credit. Thank you again
This is a great recipe, I didn’t have apple sauce so I used homemade apple butter, I was in a hurry so I did not make the topping, I put a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of each muffin and that worked well. I did grate my apple. Next time I will add a little melted butter and maybe a little extra sugar but really as is this recipe is really good.
Delicious muffins! I can’t eat a lot of sugar so I omitted the topping. I added a bit more chopped apple, 3/4 cup of applesauce, and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Very yummy.
very moist
I got many compliments! I did not peal the apples and I am the only one who knew!
made following the recipe. dry and lacking in flavor. recipe needs adjustment. edible
They taste great! I made them like the recipe said to, and they are delicious. So much so, I made them again and I’m going to add it to my recipe collection.
These muffins are delicious! I added the extra 1/2 cup of brown sugar like other reviews suggested. however I did find them a bit dry, I’ll add more apple sauce next time I make this recipe. still so good!
These were super moist and the topping made this recipe special.
Amazing — but do 1/2 greek yogurt (I used nonfat plain) and 1/2 the applesauce for a better texture.
