    I am absolutely in love with these muffins. They are the perfect fall breakfast with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Oh, and the apples. The apples are the best part!

    Even though we aren't a big fan of muffins for breakfast, I still like to keep a stash in the freezer for on-the-go meals.

    Sometimes we even have them as dessert because they tend to be a little sweeter. Now, these apple strudel muffins I can devour them all day long. They are that great.

    If you are looking for something tasty to add to your fall baking list, you should add these strudel muffins. The strudel on top of the muffins makes them extra special and fabulous.

    For the apple pieces in the muffins, you can use any apple you prefer. I used gala apples because they have a great texture when baked.

    If you on an apple kick, try our apple pie crescents or warm apple sheet cake!

    Another tip to keep in mind for these muffins, you do not want to overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter creates a gummy and dense muffin; not light and airy.

    Looking for a muffin recipe that can be used any time of the year? If so, I highly recommend our easy chocolate chip muffins!

      Delicious apple muffin recipe!! The batter was thicker than other recipes I’ve come across but I think that helped it be more round on top and not flat. We loved these muffins, they are perfect! Thank you 🙂
