Apple Cinnamon Muffins

August 28, 2018 by Marilyn 33 Comments

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I get so excited finding my favorite recipes in a healthy style, don’t you? Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins are the best. And adding in the applesauce is an addition I normally make to my otherwise “old” recipe. These are so easy to make and I just love the way the house smells of cinnamon as they bake. The original recipe made 12 muffins, but I doubled it to make more because my family is a bit larger. The fact that my health conscious members will eat these and love them adds a feeling of validation to my attempts to turn my eating habits around. Baby steps, baby steps! For more apple recipes see An Apple A day. Also see these Johnny Appleseed Muffins.

    This is really different with the 2 layers. Does it show 2 layers after it is cooked or all blend together? I LOVE apples and cinnamon muffins.

      Mine blend together but your may not so much. It is more like a marble cake than stacked. I love making these but never remember to make them when apples are no longer in season. Thanks for asking. Enjoy a lovely week!

      Most definitely! I use splenda because I am diabetic. Another good substitute is applesauce. I hope you have a chance to try these muffins. Enjoy.

    These are so perfect for fall! I have made recipes with applesauce instead of oil and it really does add wonderful moistness. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

      I will never add oil to a recipe again if applesauce will substitute well. Thanks Jann for leaving your thoughts.

      The apples at the orchard up the street are red and just hanging low on the brabches. I am glad these muffins appeal to you. Have a great week.
