Fall is here and it’s time to bust out the apples, pumpkin, and warm spices. These apple cinnamon muffins are the perfect simple fall recipe. It’s apples season here in Ontario. Whether you have just gone apple picking, or you just got some from the grocery store, these muffins are a great way to use some tasty in season apples.
Apples and cinnamon is a classic combination. The sweetness from the apple takes that spice really well creating a perfectly balanced flavour. I prefer a honey crisp apple but any type of apple works in this recipe. These muffins use a similar base to my sourdough discard yellow cake, but the addition of the apples and cinnamon completely change the flavour. They also have topper component that is kind of like a streusel topper. This topper has a higher ratio of butter to dry ingredients. When it hits the heat of that oven, it melts and makes a sugary, crisp top.
