Granny Smith is another great choice if you prefer a more tart apple flavor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other good baking apples include <strong>Pink Lady, Braeburn and Golden Delicious<\/strong>. You can even use a combination of sweet and tart apples if you&#8217;re making a double batch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this recipe, I prefer to <strong>shred the apple rather than dice it<\/strong>. Shredded apple distributes evenly throughout the batter and adds moisture and apple flavor to every bite without leaving large chunks. You can leave the peel on if you prefer, but I usually peel the apple first for the softest muffin texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-203f3c05 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/apple-cinnamon-muffins-2.jpg\" alt=\"Apple cinnamon muffin batter made with shredded fresh apple\" class=\"wp-image-35616\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/apple-cinnamon-muffins-3.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy apple cinnamon muffin batter in a muffin tin\" class=\"wp-image-35617\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prep the apple.<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F and spray a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/GAALw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">12-cup muffin pan<\/a> with nonstick cooking spray or line with <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/FzT5h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">paper liners<\/a>.

Remove some excess moisture without squeezing them completely dry. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Let the batter rest.<\/strong> That 10 to 15-minute rest gives the flour time to hydrate and helps the batter thicken before baking. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t stir after resting.<\/strong> Scoop the rested batter directly into the muffin cups so you don&#8217;t knock out the air that&#8217;s developed. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill the cups almost to the top.<\/strong> This helps create those big bakery-style muffin tops. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Start with high heat.<\/strong> The initial 425\u00b0F blast gives the muffins a quick rise. Lowering the oven to 350\u00b0F allows the centers to finish baking without over-browning the tops. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t open the oven when lowering the temperature.<\/strong> Simply change the setting from 425\u00b0F to 350\u00b0F and keep the door closed. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t overbake.<\/strong> Start checking after the additional 13 minutes at 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutions<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add nuts<\/strong> \u2013 chopped walnuts or pecans would be delicious. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Add raisins<\/strong> \u2013 fold in raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness and texture. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more spice<\/strong> \u2013 add a little ginger, cloves or apple pie spice for even more fall flavor. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip the topping<\/strong> \u2013 you can leave off the cinnamon sugar if you&#8217;d prefer the muffins without added cane sugar. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different oil<\/strong> \u2013 melted coconut oil or avocado oil can be substituted for the olive oil. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Make mini muffins<\/strong> \u2013 for mini muffins, I wouldn&#8217;t use the high-temperature method because they bake so quickly.

This recipe already uses a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat pastry flour, but you can replace the whole wheat pastry flour with additional all-purpose flour for an even lighter muffin.
