💡 Chef tips
- For extra texture, sprinkle a little extra oats or coarse sugar on top of the batter before baking.
- Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
- If you prefer a nuttier flavor, feel free to fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans with the apples.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished muffins should have a golden-brown, slightly crunchy top, a soft and moist interior, and a warm, comforting aroma of baked apples and cinnamon.
