Recipe—Dutch Apple Pie Muffins

October 4, 2012 10:50 am

The last couple of weeks I have had some beautiful apples in my produce boxes. Not quite enough to make applesauce or an apple pie though. So I thought, why not try to whip up some apple pie muffins! This recipe calls for brown sugar rather than any white sugar giving them a rich caramel apple flavor. These are not your typical light and fluffy muffins, they are actually dense and really moist, sort of like a pound cake. A perfect treat to enjoy during chilly fall mornings with a big cup of joe. Not that we have had any mornings like that this season in California though. My Halloween decorations are up and I don’t think we have had a day under 90º. This girl is ready to break out her scarves and boots! Nonetheless, I will continue pretending like it’s fall weather when cooking in my kitchen. This weekend I am headed up to Apple Hill for our annual family pumpkin picking trip where I will be sure to get a big bag of apples. My next mission, crock-pot applesauce!

Note: This recipe makes one dozen delicious muffins.

TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1/2 c brown sugar
7 tbsp flour
1/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp cinnamon

MUFFIN INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2/3 c oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 c sour cream
2 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 c diced apples

STEPS

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Grease your muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.
• In a small bowl combine all topping ingredients and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together sugar, oil, egg, vanilla, and sour cream.
• In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Slowly stir the flour mixture into the batter until combined.
• Add the diced apples mixing until evenly distributed.
• Distribute the batter among the 12 muffin tins. It’s okay if they are fairly full. These do not swell up really big.
• Generously sprinkle the muffins with the topping.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
• Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5–8 minutes before removing and then transfer to a cooling rack or cutting board.

1. OMG! I thought today would be a good day to turn the oven on, and I have a TON of apples, so I just made this recipe. SO. FREAKIN. GOOD. I over-did it on the apples a little, and ended up with 18 muffins instead of 12. A problem I really don’t mind having! 😉

   1. That’s a problem you can deal with! I will admit I licked a little raw batter of my finger, I thought it tasted like caramel. Now you have a fabulous treat ready to go for breakfast this weekend. 🙂

2. Apparantly Warren loves these too! He saw the extra muffins as an invitation to eat them 4 at a time!

8. I LOVE these muffins…my husband & everyone that has tried them wants MORE PLEASE!!
   I know that you’re on the West Coast, but these taste quintessentially New England. Since you are published on Pinterest is it alright to use your recipe as a fair entry giving you complete credit as it’s author & creator? What apples do you recommend using?

   1. This recipe is so good! Glad you and your husband love them too! You are absolutely welcome to use the recipe as an entry for your fair! I personally love baking with honey crisp apples. They have a higher sugar content so you get a nicer sweet flavor from them. Please come back and let me know how you do! Best of luck!
