For added flavor, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the brown sugar to 1/3 cup. To prevent the muffins from becoming too moist, ensure the grated apple is not overly juicy. You can gently squeeze out any excess moisture before folding it into the batter. These muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Granny Smith for a tangier flavor or Gala for a sweeter profile. For a nutty crunch, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter along with the apple.

Sep 21, 2023I found the muffins a little dry, so next time I'll add a tablespoon of applesauce to the batter to increase the moisture.
