How To Make Cinnamon Apple Muffins:
​1. Sift Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, and Cinnamon Together (tiny whisk optional, but desirable)

Did You Know? Sri Lanka is known for having the best quality cinnamon in the world, called Ceylon Cinnamon or "true cinnamon". The flavor is more delicate and highly prized in comparison to the more common cassia cinnamon. Both are helpful for diabetics and there is some indication that cinnamon has benefits relating to Alzheimer's disease, potentially blocking the tau protein from building up in the brain which is characteristic of Alzheimer's.

tl;dr Cinnamon is both delicious and helps to keep your body and mind feeling prime!

Did You Know?  In place of vanilla extract, you can always use vanilla beans. Simply split the bean open and scrape out thousands of tiny, flavor-packed seeds! You can also try vanilla paste and pure vanilla powder!

We love our rubbermaid silicone spatulas for this - flexible enough to fold everything in, but sturdy enough to not make a mess!

7. Prepare the toping - The Add a Pinch Cinnamon Apple Muffins have a delightful Butter Cinnamon Sugar Topping!

Typically you melt the butter, brush the melted butter on the finished muffins hot out of the oven and then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture. But since I didn't read closely enough, I melted the butter together with the cinnamon and sugar.

I used a silicone pastry brush to spread the butter cinnamon sugar topping over the apple cinnamon muffins and sprinkled an extra bit of sugar to give it some more texture and Voila! 

Add a Pinch Cinnamon Apple Muffin Recipe Review

These were some of the most delicious cinnamon apple muffins I've made, and I have made quite a few over the years. The apple chunks were the right size to fully appreciate, the inside of the muffin was moist, but not batter-y and underdone. The topping was delightful! Warm or room temp, this may be the best apple cinnamon recipe I've tried so far! For the full recipe, visit the Add a Pinch Cinnamon Apple Muffins Recipe here!
