Wine Pairing
This Apple and Cinnamon muffin recipe is made with pantry staples and delish apples. It’s an amazing breakfast muffin recipe that is also a perfect afternoon snack idea.
What is the difference between cupcakes and muffins? The difference is all about the mixing process and the consistency of the batter. Cupcakes are made by creaming the butter and sugar until smooth, while muffins are whisked together for a short period and remain relatively lumpy. And, muffin batter is dense when compared to cupcake batter.
Many kinds of apples will work in this recipe. But, I suggest using one of the following:
- Granny Smith Apples
- Honeycrisp
- Golden Delicious
They stay nice and moist if you can keep these in an airtight container for 5 days.
