Apple Pie Muffins



Time for another monthly installment of Secret Recipe Club!

This month I was assigned the blog Cook with Sara.

Sara is a Midwestener with a love of cooking! She has a fabulous array of recipe on her blog!
 You guys know I love to bake but this Apple Slaw also caught my eye.It was definitely very hard to choose what to make!



Knowing that fall is gently knocking on our door, I wanted to get a head start on my fall baking! This recipe is one that Sara actually came up with herself after needing to use up some apple pie filling in her pantry. I actually decided to add just a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter to amp up the apple filling. This would also be a great recipe to do with any type of pie filing!

This muffin was PERFECT! Light and airy, not heavy, tasted wonderful, had a nice crunch from the topping AND even got the approval of Cole and my future brother in law. The mini-muffins I made were completely gone before I could even get one! Everyone in my house loved these muffins! 




Apple Pie Muffins
recipe adapted from this recipe at Cook with Sara


1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 can apple pie filling

Streusel topping:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. chilled butter, cut into small pieces


  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar. 
  3. Add vanilla and eggs to the sugar and butter mixture.
  4. Gradually add the flour, baking soda,cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. 
  5. Mix just until combined. 
  6. Add the apple pie filling and beat well until apples are chopped up. 
  7. Spoon batter into 12-16 muffin cups. (I had enough batter for 12 mini muffins and 15 normal size muffins.)
  8. To prepare streusel: combine the flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, walnuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using fingers or two forks, cut in butter to flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Spoon topping onto muffin batter.
  9. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. 
  10. Cool on a wire rack.
  11. Enjoy!
