Apple Muffins

These Apple Muffins are so quick and easy to make –  they only take 15 minutes to prep! I always make a double batch of these babies so there’s plenty to freeze and have on hand for afternoon snacks and school lunches. I like to dice the apples in this recipe, but if your child is not a fan of the apple chunks you could grate the apple instead.

I like to bake these up and put them in the freezer so they are ready for the kid’s school lunches. This is one of 50 lunchbox recipe from my Lunch Box Recipes Cookbook with sweet and savoury recipes in this book range from muffins and cookies, to bliss balls, slices and more! They provide the entire family (kids and adults alike) with quick and healthy alternatives to boring lunch box sandwiches. Simply grab one out of the freezer in the morning, for a no-fridge, no-heat lunch that’s ideal for school or work – they make great afternoon snacks too!

I just made these with my daughter and they were so easy and delicious. I added your cinnamon crumb from another recipe to the top and it was so good!

I made these muffins using gluten free self-raising flour. Simply delicious. Light texture and morish ? I will definitely be making this again.
