I really do believe that apple is my favorite fruit to bake with. Although pumpkin is right up there as well, but many people don’t really look at that as a fruit. But apples? Oh yes – my favorite, and these Chunky Apple Muffins are a great way to start any morning with that wonderful fruit.

I made these simple muffins recently for my bible study ladies. The ultimate sign that a recipe is a hit is when there aren’t any left to bring home and there were none!

I used a Granny Smith apple in these muffins, but you can use any firm baking apple. I also pretty much never peel the apples when I bake with them. There’s lots of nutrition and fiber in those peels!

The muffins are topped with a sprinkling of demerera (raw) sugar before baking to give the tops a nice crunch.

  1. Thank you Constance for the recipe! Right now I’m enjoying a month with my family where my son is stationed at Schofield Barracks on Oahu and its 77degrees out! When I head back to NJ where it is much colder, I’ll definitely make these muffins!
