Since this recipe was submitted in 2002, it's received tons of good feedback. I tried them myself this morning and I concur... this a great basic apple muffin with lots of apple and cinnamon flavor. Please note that the recipe is intended to make 12 jumbo muffins. I halved the recipe to get 12 regular (albeit square) muffins. I also dipped the cooked and cooled muffins in a thin glaze made from 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons warm water. (This recipe was tested and photographed in May 2014.)





How To Make Apple Muffins

Peel and core the apples. Slice each one into 1/2-inch pieces. This should yield about 2 cups of sliced apple. Set aside.

With rubber spatula, cream butter and sugars by hand until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Blend in buttermilk.

Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix until all lumps have dissolved; do not over-mix. Add apples. (Batter will be thicker than typical muffin batter.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat muffin cups measuring 3 inches across top and 2 inches across bottom (jumbo size) with non-stick vegetable cooking spray. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling to top. Top each muffin with brown sugar.

Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until done.






A delicious cinnamon apple buttermilk muffin. The ingredients specify McIntosh apples, but you can use your favorite kind.

This is the best apple muffin recipe I've tried in a long time. The one and only change I made was to cut the cinnamon in half. In my opinion, it was perfect. I also think baking the batter in a loaf pan would make a perfect apple bread. Great recipe... thanks!

I made these this morning and made double the amount by using small muffin cases. Absolutely delicious, my husband loves them. They are very light and moist. Will become a favorite.

Instead of using all purpose flour and baking soda, I used self raising flour and baking powder (im unsure if they are the same thing), and only half filled my muffin cups. They rose beautifully, were light and fluffy - and sssoooooo tastey! Thanks for the recipe!!!

Hello, we tried this and used whole milk instead of buttermilk. We also used papercups for the muffin tins and it worked great. 3 tablespoons of cinnamon is recommended though 2 is purely not enough. We tried that first and it surely calls for 3 tablespoons. Great site! Thank you.

I loved this recipe. I baked it for apple day at my son's school. It was a hit. I thought 3 tablespoons of cinnamon was a lot even though I love cinnamon. I reduced it to 2 tablespoons and it was still great.
