    These muffins are crumbly and moist. I love how light and airy they are. They are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast. I like to make a batch of muffins and have breakfast for the entire week.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I freeze apple muffins?

    Yes! I love to freeze these muffins in a freezer safe container to have them for later. You can make two batches and freeze one or freeze half of these.

    It makes life so much easier when I don't have time to bake to have muffins in the freezer for breakfast or snacks. I like to freeze them individually so I can pull out one at a time. This works great for when I need something to put in lunches also.

    Top Tip

    These muffins freeze well too. I will put them individually into freezer bags so I can quickly get them out later for breakfast or a snack. I love having muffins in the freezer for the weeks when I don't feel like baking.
