Notes
Tip from my kitchen: use slightly tart, firm apples like boskoop or braeburn – they keep their bite while baking and give a lovely contrast to the sweet batter. To keep the muffins nice and juicy, stir the batter only briefly, just until everything is combined. In a well-sealed container they stay fresh at room temperature for 2 to 3 days; you can also freeze them and warm them briefly in the oven before serving.
