Muffin Baking Tips

• It’s easier to melt the butter for mixing and allow to cool
• After baking the muffins, they may become one on the tray. Let them cool, they should come out easy with a bit of a hangover of strudel
• You can use frozen apples, they may brown a bit while you are making the muffins, that is ok
• Using an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tin goes much quicker than a spoon
• If you don’t want the strudel, skip it
• Use a soft apple like granny smith or fuji or gala
