Apple Oat Muffins

Jump to Recipe

We went apple picking in October and I’ve been trying to make our way through the “peck” since!

This apple muffin recipe uses apple sauce to make them super moist and oats to add texture.

I managed to forget to peel the apple before dicing, which is more of a preference thing, but I would recommend peeling so your muffins don’t have pieces of apple skin!
