Best Apples for Baking With
While realistically you can use whatever apples you have on hand some apples are better at holding their shape than others.
Granny smith apples, Fuji apples, Pink Lady and Honey crisp apples are some of the apples that hold their shape well when baking.
Ingredients Needed for Apple Crumble Muffins
2 cups flour: I use Spelt flour but you can use a different flour.
1/2 cup sugar: I love rapadura sugar as it’s healthier but has a similar taste to brown sugar. You can use brown sugar or cane sugar if that’s what you have on hand.
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup melted butter: Room temperature butter does work better though giving a nicer consistency.
1/3 cup milk
2 apples peeled and chopped
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Supplies Needed
Large bowl for mixing
Muffin trays: I personally love using silicone trays as the muffins pop out really easily this way.

Notes
How To Store Muffins
You can store your muffins once cooled in an airtight container on the shelf away from direct sunlight for about 3 days.
You can also store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They do taste better warm, so I'd heat them up either in the oven or microwave if you choose.
These muffins can be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just take them out and let them either defrost in the fridge or on the counter until defrosted.
