These apple muffins are the beloved apple bundt cake my family has cherished for decades, now in perfect muffin form. The recipe blends my Grammy’s version with one from a dear family friend, giving you the same golden, slightly crisp crust and moist, apple-filled center in an easy, handheld treat. I love using this gluten free flour blend because it makes every batch turn out perfectly. These non-toxic muffin pans are my absolute favorite because the muffins slide right out without sticking and make baking feel effortless and joyful.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners if using.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with apple pie spice and sugar until every piece is evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the avocado oil, vanilla, and orange juice until smooth. Pour this mixture into dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined, making sure all the dry ingredients are mixed up from the bottom. Batter will be thick.
  5. Fold in the apples, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the batter into the muffin tin, dividing it evenly between 12 cups.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar for a crisp, sweet finish.
  8. Place the pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 385°F. Bake for about 32 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  10. Enjoy every bite!
