Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply swap the whole wheat flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid slightly, as gluten-free flours can sometimes be more absorbent.

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, you can use a variety of apples in this recipe. Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith all work well. The key is to choose a firm, crisp apple that will hold its shape during baking.

How can I make these muffins vegan?

To make these muffins vegan, replace the eggs with flax or chia "eggs" (1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). Also, substitute your favorite plant-based milk for the dairy milk.

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?

Absolutely! These muffins freeze beautifully. Let them cool completely, then wrap individually or place in an airtight container. They'll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

How can I make the muffins sweeter?

If you'd like your muffins to be a bit sweeter, you can increase the amount of brown sugar to ½ cup. You can also drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the tops before or after baking.
