These look like the perfect rainy day project. Or snowy day, rather!
More apple recipes please!

I just made these, except I only used 1/2 cup white sugar and 2 mediumish apples. They are SOOOOOOO good! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

These were so good with fresh fall apples I made them twice! The first time I used northern spry apples, and added the extra brown sugar topping 10 min after I had started cooking (I almost forgot about it). The sugar granules that didn’t land on a muffin burned and left stains on the pan, but the muffins themselves were great.
The second time I made these muffins, I think I used jonathons (also good) and added some minced dried cranberries and extra cinnamon, and used all of the brown sugar in the batter. Both ways were delicious!

Hi! I discovered your website a few months ago and have been an avid reader since! I love your writing and always look forward to new posts! I’ve made a couple recipes and am typically shy when it comes to commenting. But oh my goodness, these were so delicious that I just had to say something! My husband and I decided that they may need to be our morning staple :) Thank you so much for the recipe!

Just made these this morning. In an effort not to skimp on the brown sugar, I put on too much and mine are a bit too sweet. I also found the oven temp too high and mine almost burned a bit on the edges. The muffins themselves, though, are great. I used a granny smith and 1 1/2 red delicious. I also only had 12 muffin tins, so I put the remaining batter in a muffin top pan. The excess brown sugar was even more of a problem here, but if you think of it as candy, it’s faboo!!

So delicious. My daughter went apple picking 2 weeks ago and I have made all manner of apple baked goods since then . My usual apple muffin recipe uses apple sauce so I did a search for a recipe with fresh apples and found several. The first one I made was not nearly as tasty as these. These were perfect. No one would ever know they had whole wheat flour in them. (I used King Arthur’s white whole wheat flour) I didn’t have any buttermilk so I used the yogurt and it gave the muffins just enough tang to counteract the sweetness of the apple. I still have some apples so I think I’ll make some more and freeze them. I might try adding some walnuts next time . Thanks for a great recipe.

I was just introduced to Smittenkitchen this month and this is the 1st recipe I’ve made, twice in the past two weeks. These are the best muffins I have ever tasted and I have gotten rave reviews from everyone who’s tasted them! I got 18 both times I made them, thanks!

I had already started creaming the butter and sugar together when I realized I had run out of eggs. I never run out of eggs! So mine had no egg, and they were still amazing. My 17 month old loves them.

Wow are these delish! I used Spring White Wheat flour, our own homegrown apples, and sour cream instead of buttermilk/yogurt. I also did a crumb topping with butter, flour, brown sugar and a touch of salt. They are wonderful, and will make these again and again I am positive! Thanks Deb for another fab recipe!!! : )
