Apple muffin recipes are generally very moist and delicious due to the addition of apples. The flavor also blends well with many other ingredients allowing for additional taste and texture. Normally being made with quick bread recipes they are quick and easy to make and to bake.

Like all muffins, the apple muffin recipes should produce tender delicacies. The batter is thick rather than a dough and it should be stirred only until the mixture is just moist. Stirring the batter too much or until smooth will toughen the texture. Small lumps which are left in the batter will disappear during the baking.

The heavy batter is what supports ingredients like the apples, nuts and raisins which go very well with the apples. Other ingredients which you might want to try in your apple muffin recipes are all types of fresh fruit, a variety of cheese and even some meats like finely chopped cooked bacon or finely chopped ham. Use your imagination and don’t be limited; you might develop a special recipe.
