Notes

If you want your apple muffin recipe to turn out perfectly every time, try these helpful tips:
Use fresh apples. Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for muffins.
Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can make muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy.
Dice apples small. Smaller pieces cook evenly and blend perfectly into the muffin texture.
