Apple Muffins with Snickerdoodle Flavor!
Isn’t it crazy how quickly fall just all of the sudden seems to hit? It seems like the feeling of fall and everything that comes with it just happens overnight. Here went from hot summer days to cool breezy autumn days. No complaints from me though because I absolutely love fall – mostly because the beautiful leaves of all of the fall treats like these delicious Apple Snickerdoodle Muffins! After one bite it’s practically guaranteed you’ll be a lifelong fan of this recipe. If only I could eat them for breakfast everyday. The recipe for these comes from Jamielyn Nye’s new cookbook – The I Heart Naptime Cookbook (Jamielyn is the creator of the popular blog food and craft blog i heart naptime).
I absolutely love this cookbook and all the beautiful, colorful photos! This book is packed with over 100 easy, family friendly recipes that can be made in an hour or less, and there are so many I can’t wait to try!
These Are the Perfect Way to Use up Apples!
Of course the muffins were the first thing in the cookbook I knew I had to try and let me just tell you they are unbelievably good! This is breakfast done right. Those vanilla glazed, cinnamon crumb muffins tops are what dreams are made of as well as those sweet little spiced apple pieces in each bite, YUM!
Which Type of Apple Should I Use?
I tested these muffins out with different types of apples and I think what it comes down to is just personal preference. If you want more texture to the little bits of apples in the muffins as well as a bit of crispness then try something like pink lady. If you are more into a softer apple in muffins go with something like golden delicious. This recipe does require a few mixing bowls and a few extra steps but in the end it is so worth it, trust me. And since it’s the weekend you have the perfect excuse to bake up a delicious treat to enjoy, it’s what weekends were made for…so get baking!
How to Make them with Big Muffin Tops
The original recipe makes 18 muffins, I really only care about muffin tops so I made 12 muffins with BIG muffin tops (as you are scooping it into the 12 it may seem like waaaay to much batter but they’ll puff up nice and tall). Whichever amount you decide to go with you’ll end with an incredible muffin either way.
