Have you seen the muffin man? Well, which way did he go? He just stole my apple pie muffins!

I don’t blame him though, they are absolutely delicious! I’ve been making this muffin recipe for well over 20 years now. This recipe is certainly tried and true!

They are so super simple to prepare too.

How do I prepare these muffins?

Grease your muffin cups, or spray them with Baker’s Joy like I do – or line with muffin liners if you wish.  Fill the muffin cups to the top with the batter.

These muffins are also really good with pears or a mixture of apples and pears. They have such a wonderful ‘pie’ flavor to them either way you decide to make them.

They also freeze great – perfect for meal prep and make ahead meals!
