Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For a light and fluffy muffin, use a variety of apples that are crisp and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Light Apple Stuffing Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover stuffing and apples. These muffins are also a great way to get your kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. Serve them warm with a dollop of butter or honey for a truly special treat.
