These apple pie muffins are super moist and filled with all the flavors of an apple pie. I love to make these all year round! They are perfect for feeding the crew or using up extra apples.
These can be made super smooth by blending this recipe in the blender or food processor or you can shred or finely dice the apples to make these a little chunkier. These taste great both ways and is completely up to your preference.
I have some kiddos who get scared off by chunks of fruit in things. They however, don’t mind if the apples are shredded as the apple blends into the muffin really well.
The crumble topping is a bakery style crumble and it gives them a little extra yumminess on top. It is optional and the muffins are great without it too.
