Tipps

Use Fresh Apples

Using fresh, crisp apples in this recipe is key to adding a wonderful burst of sweet, juicy flavor. Avoid using frozen or canned apples as they may alter the consistency and taste of the muffins.

Let the Muffins Cool

Resist the temptation to dive in right away and allow the muffins to cool. This will help them firm up and achieve the perfect muffin texture.

Storing the Muffins

These muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just defrost at room temperature or microwave briefly when ready to eat.

Perfect for Meal Prepping

These muffins are a great make-ahead snack. Bake a batch, let them cool, and store them for a go-to, histamine-friendly snack throughout the week.
