APPLE PIE MUFFINS
If you are a fan of Apple Pie, you will want to give these delicious muffins a try! They are easy and fantastic with a cup of coffee.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love a good muffin, and these are great with the apple pie filling. Then you add the pecans and all the delicious spices, and you have a delightful treat! These muffins are super versatile and keep well in an airtight container. They make about 18 muffins!
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
These muffins could be made with any pie filling. You could also add raisins to the muffins and top these with a little brown sugar too. If you are not a fan of the spices, simply switch them up. You can use pecans, walnuts or no nuts at all. Top these with a basic powdered sugar glaze if you like. You can freeze these muffins.
I just made these…..
and they are delicious! I can see topping them with a crumb or streusel topping, and/or a simple glaze. I used Duncan Hines Wilderness Apple Pie filling, poured the filling in a bowl and cut the slices of apple into smaller pieces. I think cherry pie filling would be delicious, too. I really like the cinnamon in the muffin part. This is a recipe I will use regularly.
⭐TIP
I keep these in the refrigerator or a cool place. They would be great warmed up with ice cream too. You can freeze these.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, melted butter and eggs. Mix well with a spoon.

Love this recipe. Can’t wait to make it. Not difficult to make
As I’ve had an ABUNDANCE of apples recently I decided to make apple pie filling from scratch, after I did that I remembered I am the only
Person in my house that likes apple pies so off to the Internet I went in search of a new way to use apple pie filling that I could eat in single servings and not fall into a diabetic coma, Que your Apple Pie Muffins ! Who doesn’t like a good fresh baked Muffins right? Plus I know I could freeze single servings and eat them over several weeks if needed I followed Instructions, though I opted for 6 jumbo Muffins, topped with chopped walnuts and granulated sugar and everything is in the oven now but I have to saying smells DIVINE!! Will update once it’s done baking, but I wanted to say THANKYOU for this recipe ❤️
Can you use almond milk and non dairy butter for this? I’m allergic to milk but these look delicious
We would have no idea, we don’t bake with no dairy butter or almond milk. You’re welcome to try it!
I tried this recipe. Came out wonderful! I did however make my own apple pie filling. I am new to cooking. It makes a lot of muffins. I just put extra in my freezer for later. 5 stars
I made this as a cake with a streusal topping and it was great! However next time I will use a 10” pan- the 9” was pretty full It was moist and I liked not having to use an electric mixer and not much butter as I have to watch cholesterol intake.
Thank you for an excellent recipe!
These look great! Can they be frozen?
We don’t freeze a lot of food, but I don’t see why you couldnt.
Please tell me do you mean a 12 cup cupcake tin or a 12 cup muffin tin…2 different things. I need to know before proceeding.
The recipe clearly states: “Spray a 12 cup muffin tin”
In the oven now and the house smells wonderful. I opted for six large muffins. Gonna be experimenting with the baking time. Will keep you posted.
They turned out delicious. Will have to cut back on cake batter as I got the muffin tin a little full but they say practice makes perfect. King Arthur GF flour used.
So glad this worked out and they were a hit!
Can you use self rising flour.
Yes, it should work ok, Patricia.
I would love to try your Apple Pe Muffins, but I was inquiring if this Recipe can be doubled as when I bake I usually like it to be able to be doubled i.e. Sweet Breads, Cookies etc. We are Seniors and have 2 very bad knees. This way I can freeze them for later. I just recently joined your site.
Just a Senior Lady From N.E. Arkansas
Yes you can double the recipe, should workout just fine! So happy you found our site!
Looked delicious and so easy to make. thank you.
I generally don’t review things that I haven’t made as directed. But I wanted to thank you for the idea of these muffins. I had a plane King Arthur flour gluten-free muffin mix and didn’t have blueberries and wondered what to do with them. I had a can of Splenda sweetened apple pie filling. Then I found your recipe. I use my muffin mix I added a packet of instant apple cinnamon oatmeal to give the batter more flavor and added some cinnamon. I filled my muffin tins and top them as directed and I cut up some pecans and sprinkled on top and sprinkled with some stevia brown sugar. I baked according to your directions as well. these might be my favorite muffins ever I kind of want to go out and buy more pie filling and test more flavors! thank you for the suggestion I’m sure your homemade version is wonderful I gave up baking homemade when I went gluten-free!
Thank you so much for this review Michelle! I sometimes cook gluten free and use King Arthur flour so I will definitely use your suggestion. I am so glad you loved these! Thank you again.
These turned out so good. I made 11 full sized and 24 mini muffins which are a great size for the grand kids! I used a 15 oz can of pie filling and it was plenty of filling!
So glad these turned out so well and you enjoyed them!
I baked these this morning. They were good, but a little too cakey for my taste. I put little rounds of parchment cut to fit my muffin pan and it made getting them out much easier. Nice recipe.
They look delicious! Can’t wait to try!
Oops! I may have posted to the wrong recipe. The apple pie muffins are the award winner, not morning glory. Sorry
I just made these, and they are delicious! I can see topping them with a crumb or streusel topping, and/or a simple glaze.

Gotta try this! Thank you for sharing!
Apple pie and a muffin combined…I love it!
I am making them now.
Delicious and yummt
Is that 1/2 cup of buttermilk or 1and half cup?
It is 1 and a half cups.
Could you use Fresh Apples?
Yes, you could but I would cook them first.
Could you use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you could do that, Janet.
Thank you.
They look so awesome. You know I have share this with every one that I know.
These sound absolutely delicioius. Can’t wait to try them. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for all delicious ideas
Oh yum!! Those look delicious!!!
Could you use a cake mix? And what flavor? Or what about a biscuit mix?
I have never made them with a cake mix. I think it would work though.
Wow – they look sooo yummy!! Wish I could pick one off the screen!
