Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Searching for the perfect, easy fall breakfast? Look no further than these apple cinnamon muffins. Soft, incredibly moist, and just sweet enough, these are the muffins we whip up when we really want to impress (without the effort). Perfect for a simple dessert or a grab-and-go breakfast, these treats are the perfect combination of a tender muffin and a cinnamon-y apple crumble (sold yet?). Apple fans—here’s everything you need to know to make your perfect fall breakfast:

The best apples for apple muffins:
In terms of what apples are best to use, it’s pretty much up to you! The only thing we recommend is that you have some tart ones in there to balance out the sweetness of the cake. Granny Smiths are great for this, but we also love Pink Lady's and Fujis. If you need more apple info, check out our list on all the types of apples to use when baking. 

The crumble topping.
The streusel topping is what takes these muffins over the top—you don’t want to skip it. We love it as is, but if you’re feeling creative, you can even take it to another level and add some chopped, toasted pecans to the crumble topping. 

Storage.
If you have any leftover muffins, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. 

Note: We think these muffins nail the balance of being not-too sweet (especially with our crumble topping), but if you’re in the market for more of a sweeter muffin, we recommend trying one of our sweeter varieties, like our applesauce muffins.
