The best apple cinnamon muffins with a hint of lovely cinnamon and a chunk of baked apples adds flavour and texture. It is an easy and one bowl recipe, and any novice can nail it.

About These Apple Cinnamon Muffins

This best apple cinnamon muffins is soft, airy, and loaded with fresh apples. It is an easy one-bowl recipe that any novice baker can nail. It is made without butter and baked to perfection with beautiful crumbs includes chunks of apple that add texture to the muffins. Every bite of muffin with slightly firm baked tender apple chunks is divine.

Let’s talk about this muffin recipe. It has regular ingredients like other muffins minus butter. I added oil, and it kept the muffin moist. Also, the chunks of apple give a moist texture with vibrant apple flavor. Finally, adding eggs to the muffins gives a soft spongy middle with a beautiful crumb top.

I’m not a regular fan of these soft spongy muffins and, I also like dense but soft in the middle and crisp on the top of muffins with various mix-ins.

Make this easy apple cinnamon recipe, and I bet you will be making it regularly until apple season ends.

Ingredients needed for these apple cinnamon muffins

  • all-purpose flour
  • caster sugar
  • egg
  • oil
  • apple
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • cinnamon powder
  • salt
  • sweet apple flavour

Variations

I used all-purpose flour for this recipe. You can use whole wheat flour, and the texture and colour will not be the same.

Brown sugar is the best sweetener for apple cinnamon muffins. As brown sugar was out of stock in my pantry, I used caster sugar.

You can mix different extract flavours, fresh fruit, nuts, dried fruits, and even savoury options. The possibilities are endless so, play as per the taste of your palate.

How to make the best apple cinnamon muffin

It is a simple one-bowl muffin recipe, which you can whip within few minutes. Firstly, in a wide bowl, add egg and caster sugar. Whisk them in an electric beater for two minutes until it is well combined. Add oil to the egg-sugar mixture. Now sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder into the wet mixture. With a spatula, gently fold in the flour with a cut and fold method. Now add sweet apple flavour and a cored chunk of apples. Mix it gently. Do not over mix the muffin batter. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C (I used a microwave convection oven). Transfer the muffin batter to the muffin cups and bake it for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the inserted skewer comes out clean.

Let’s see the step-by-step preparation of the best apple cinnamon muffin.

In a dry bowl, add eggs and caster sugar and whisk well until it is well combined.

Now add oil ( I used sunflower oil) to the egg mixture.

Sift in all the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.

Add in few drops of sweet apple flavour to the muffin batter. The combination of cinnamon and apple flavour is divine.

Finally, add in peeled cored chopped apples and gently fold into the muffin batter. Core the apple at the last minute ( I follow the same ) as it turns brown if you do it ahead of time.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C. Fill in the muffin batter as shown in the picture. I didn’t use a muffin tray as my muffin cup is firm to hold the batter. Bake it for 15 to 18 minutes or, inserted skewer comes out clean.

Let it completely cool on a cooling rack before you start it to dig in.

Serve this apple cinnamon muffin for breakfast, any gatherings, or kids’ snack box. Having a bite of this muffin with a sip of hot coffee is heaven.

How to store apple cinnamon muffin?

You can store it at room temperature for a day or two only. Since fresh apples are in it, their shelf life is less. If you make big batches and want to store them for upcoming holidays or parties, cling each muffin separately or place them in a zip pouch and freeze it. It will stay fresh for up to three months. Before serving, thaw it to room temperature and microwave for few seconds.

FAQs

Can we use whole wheat flour?

Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or 50:50 of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.

Can we use any other fruits?

Yes, you can use banana and any berry fruits. Try and explore with fruits. Sky is the limit.

Can it be made eggless?

yes, you can! Skip egg and add curd or yogurt, apple sauce or mashed bananas. The quantity differs according to the flour measurements.

Notes

Use firm apples of your choice. Chop apple into equal size pieces.
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
You can bake this muffin recipe in any round or square pan.
