I know it’s not fall, but you can never go wrong with an Apple Cinnamon Muffin! These Apple Cinnamon Muffins are packed with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and diced apples giving them the most wonderful flavor! They are heavily sprinkled with course sugar prior to baking, which gives a nice sweet and crunchy topping. Oh, so irresistible! They are sure to become your favorite year-round staple.
No mixer is required, which makes these muffins super easy to make! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want a quick recipe that requires minimal effort and cleanup!

What Ingredients Do I Need?
Oil: canola oil works wonderfully
Eggs: large, room temperature
Greek Yogurt: plain
Milk: any type of regular milk
Vanilla Extract: pure vanilla, DO NOT use imitation
Flour: use all-purpose flour
Sugar: granulated white sugar
Baking Powder and Baking Soda: leavening agents!
Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Clove: gives the muffins the perfect warm flavor
Salt: balances and enhances the flavor of the muffins
Apples: any type of apple works, but I love using Hunnyz, Honey Crisp, McIntosh, and Gala
Tips for the BEST Muffins:
- Do not overmix batter!
- Dice the apples pretty small, so the muffin to apple ratio is PERFECT!
- Be generous with the turbinado sugar!
- Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full.
