I don’t know about you guys but as soon as September hits, I’m all about those apple recipes! Typically we’ll have a big apple haul from apple picking but I don’t think that’s going to happen this year so I’ve just been relying on my regular old store-bought apples.
I recently got a bag in my last grocery order and had one lone apple left. I decided to whip up these lightly sweetened rustic apple muffins to have on hand to use as part of easy meals and snacks for myself and Owen.
And boy am I glad that I did because they’ve been totally hitting the spot! I’ve been crumbling them over yogurt bowls in the morning, slathering them with peanut butter for an easy grab and go snack and we even served them up warm with vanilla ice cream for dessert one night!
I love a recipe that can be repurposed in so many different ways and this is definitely one of those gems.
Even better, these require just 12 ingredients (most of which you’ll likely have right in your pantry!) and 25 minutes of time!
I used siggi’s vanilla 0% yogurt since we always have a 24 oz. tub on hand and it worked perfectly, but you can also use the plain or vanilla whole milk varieties (I’ve baked these with both and they work out no matter what!). The yogurt’s simple ingredients lend a hint of vanilla flavor plus a nice boost of protein to the recipe.
And since I know back to school has looked different for many of us, this is also a great recipe to let kids help out with Because it’s simple in ingredients and instruction, it’s a perfect opportunity to let them measure, mix and stir!
Happy apple eating friends!
