Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter or your Apple Cinnamon Muffins will be tough.
  • It's best if the muffins rest 10 minutes before baking because of the whole wheat flour
  • These Apple Cinnamon Muffins stay fresh for at least 3 days when stored in an airtight container. You can also wrap them in cling film individually.
  • I sometimes add ginger to the muffin batter, sometimes apple pie spice, and sometimes skip the cinnamon and all other spices, and just add vanilla.
