Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, and I’ve actually tested a few myself. Granny Smith adds a nice tartness that balances the sweetness, while Honeycrisp makes the muffins naturally sweeter and juicier. Both work beautifully, so it really depends on your preference.

Yes, I froze half a batch once to test it, and they thawed perfectly. Just let them cool completely, then wrap them individually before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. A quick warm-up in the oven makes them taste freshly baked again.

Can I reduce the sugar?

I tried cutting the sugar slightly and they still turned out delicious. The apples add their own natural sweetness, so the muffins don’t lose their flavor if you go a little lighter on sugar.

Do I need to peel the apples?

I prefer peeling them for a softer bite, but I’ve also left the skin on when I was in a hurry. The muffins had a slightly more rustic texture, but they were still very enjoyable.
