Print Recipe

These easy apple pie muffins are made with canned apple pie filling and topped with a buttery streusel crumble, making them taste just like apple crumble pie in muffin form. Perfect for a fall breakfast or snack!

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups apple pie filling (chopped into small pieces, syrup included)

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup melted butter, cooled

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp cold butter, cubed

1/4 cup flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Place the apple pie filling in a bowl and roughly chop the apples into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped apple pie filling (including the syrup).
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. To make the streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and flour with a fork (or use a food processor and pulse) until crumbly.
  7. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel on top of each.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • If your pie filling has large slices of apple, chopping them into smaller chunks helps them blend into the batter better.

  • Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.

  • You can swap the vegetable oil for melted butter for a richer flavor.

  • Try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.
