Easy Apple Muffins Recipe
The caramel apple muffins are soft, fluffy, springy, loaded with chunks of apples in every bite, and I used caramel twice. Of course, the caramel drizzle is not to be missed and I used the new Silk Almond Creamer in Caramel Flavor to impart creamy caramely goodness into the batter. It’s America’s #1 Almond Creamer and comes in Vanilla and Hazelnut flavors, too. For a limited time there’s also Pumpkin flavor. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted for your coffee. Or your muffins. The creamers have a new look (rounded bottles rather than square cartons to make your coffee routine even easier) and a new taste. Silk’s plant-based almond creamer is now creamier and than ever. They put everything they know and love about plant-based nutrition into these new Silk Creamers.
They’re responsibly sourced from California almonds, cane sugar, and have natural flavors. When you swirl these authentically nutty creamers into your favorite coffee, you’ll know you’ve made a good choice for the planet. And only Silk could make plants taste so creamy. I’m a huge Silk fan and use it all the time in my cooking, baking, and smoothie-making. Did you see the recent recipes for Strawberry Coconut Pina Colada, Make-Ahead Smoothie Freezer Packs and vegan Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Bread (which went totally viral and has quickly become a new reader favorite)? I love all the Silk Creamer flavors but for the muffins I went with Caramel because caramel + apples is an automatic win. The muffins are perfect for breakfast, after school snacks, with coffee, and will disappear quickly. They’re so easy, you don’t even need a mixer, and they’re great if you’re trying to get friends and family together around this time of the year and have something for everyone to eat and enjoy because they’re vegan. But you’d never know it.
What’s in Caramel Apple Muffins?
To make this apple cinnamon muffin recipe, you’ll need:
Apples All-purpose flour Cinnamon Egg (or egg replacer) Granulated sugar Silk Almond Creamer (Caramel Flavor) Vegetable oil Vanilla extract Baking powder Salt Caramel sauce (optional)
How to Make Caramel Apple Muffins
Toss together the diced apples, cinnamon and some flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients, then fold in the cinnamon apples. Divide the muffin batter between 11 greased muffin cups. Bake until the tops are domed, puffed, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool before topping with caramel sauce.
How to Store Apple Muffins
These easy apple muffins (without caramel sauce added) will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
What Type of Apples Should I Use?
For these apple muffins, I suggest using a Fuji or Gala apple. Honeycrisp or Granny Smith would work too!
Tips for Making Caramel Apple Muffins
I prefer peeling my apples before adding them to the muffin batter. Some apples have thicker skin that doesn’t bake well. A few readers have asked if they can make this apple muffin recipe without the caramel creamer. If you can’t find flavored creamer where you live, you can try using plain creamer and adding extra cinnamon to the batter. To keep this recipe vegan, use your favorite egg alternative.
