Frequently Asked Questions
It honestly doesn't matter. Just depends on your preference. I would steer away from granny smith because they are very tart. Since these muffins are less sweet than a traditional muffin, it's best to use a sweeter apple.
I do not recommend substituting any other flours in this recipe. Both almond flour and coconut flour have very unique textures. For optimal results, stick to the recipe as written.
Spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.
No, the skin is filled with nutrients. Plus, I love the whole pieces of apple you taste throughout the muffin.

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered, and what other changes would I have to make to make this work? Thanks!
I have not tried regular PB in this recipe so I am not sure! You might have to play around with the amount of each ingredient to achieve a similar texture to the original recipe.

I used regular peanut butter and it worked fine! I didn't have apple sauce so I used shredded Apple, but if I had used regular peanut butter and applesauce they would be too wet. I also spilled the cinnamon but it turned out that it helped the flavour a lot! Thanks for such a good recipe.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and rating. 🙂
