APPLE PIE MUFFINS
Apple pie muffins are just the thing to serve family and friends for breakfast with coffee or with milk as a snack anytime.
Apple pie muffins are delicious and make a wonderful breakfast on the go. Children and adults love these because they taste like apple pie but in a muffin!
Apple pie muffins will quickly become a favorite.
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling (I use Duncan Hines Original Country Apple Pie Filling)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
1 cup nut pieces, Optional
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. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin, add about 1/4 cup batter to each cup. Drop about 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the batter. Sprinkle nuts on top. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 25 to 30 minutes until brown on top. Makes 18 muffins. Enjoy!
Note: You can make these with about any kind of pie filling. They keep well and easily reheat in the microwave. I refrigerate any leftover. We love the filling “oozing” out of the muffins. You could add raisins along with the nuts and you could sprinkle a little brown sugar and cinnamon on top before baking.

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. 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.
So glad you enjoyed them!
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!
