Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, then core an apple. Blend apple(s) until finely chopped, but not pureed. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then fill muffin cups until 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes around 10 muffins, depending on size.
- I usually make these muffins on a Sunday, then have then on hand throughout the week. I use around two tablespoons of honey for mine, though this creates a semi-savory muffin. If you like your muffins on the sweet side, then use more honey.
- I use the butter from grass-fed cows in mine, but if you'd like to avoid dairy entirely, then two to three tablespoons of melted coconut oil would be a fine substitute. Also, the amount of apples you use depends on the size and taste. I typically use one large apple. I also slightly undercook mine (a toothpick doesn't come out completely clean) because I find that they get a little dry if cooked through. If you prefer a drier muffin, then cook around 23 minutes.

APPLE ALMOND MUFFINS
I had some almond flour (labeled as almond flour/meal) that I wanted to try, but I couldn't find a recipe that was really what I wanted, so I whipped this up patching a bunch of recipes together. Surprisingly, these came out great! If you don't have any almond flour, substitute regular flour. I had some ground nut/sugar/cardamom topping hanging around that I used, but feel free to leave the top bare or add the optional crunch topping listed below.

APPLE-ALMOND MUFFINS
I like to snack on apple slices slathered with almond butter. That's the flavor combo that inspired these muffins. Add a dash of almond extract to boost the nuttiness. -Kelly Alesso, Chicago, IL

Tips:
- Choose the right apples. A good baking apple should be firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the muffins from becoming too dense.
- Grate the apples finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
