Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture to your stuffing muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Serve the muffins warm: Apple stuffing muffins are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed fresh from the oven.

Light apple stuffing muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover stuffing, and they are also a perfect way to add some extra fruits and vegetables to your diet.
