GUEST POST: Vanilla glazed apple cinnamon muffins by Damn Delicious
Hey guys – it’s Chung-Ah from Damn Delicious, and I could not be more excited to share a recipe with you for #appleadayparty 2013! See, I’m a bit obsessed with apples, particularly Fuji apples, and I try my best to have an apple every morning. But my new favorite way to enjoy my apples is in the form of a muffin, with a glaze, of course.
This super easy muffin batter comes together so easily – just a handful of ingredients and no mixer. Plus, it’s a small batch that makes just 4 muffins, although you may want to double this – I unexpectedly ate all four the minute this came out of the oven!
Vanilla Glazed Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 C all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 C milk
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 C grated apple
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1/4 C powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together milk, butter, sugar, apple, egg and vanilla.
- Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place into oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- To make the glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar as needed.
- When the muffins are done, cool for 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze on each muffin.
- Allow glaze to set before serving.
- Let cool on a wire rack.

Beautiful apple cinnamon muffins with vanilla glaze, Chung-Ah! Love the small batch style of this recipe. Perfect! Thanks for sharing! Pinning!
The small batch is great since I’d likely eat all four of them:-)
Perfect, cute little muffins! I love the glaze!
For me, the best muffins have a glaze on them. I have an apple tree in the garden so my house is full of them at the moment. Might have to add this to the list of thing to bake.
I love that this recipe only makes 4! (Although, I’d probably need to triple the batch because, come on, like I’d want to share? Pffft.)
those Muffins looks adorable.. i think they’re perfect to a nice lazy breakfast don you think?
Glaze makes everything better! These muffins look delicious!!
Can you please tell me what type of apple you used for this? They look amazing, and I’m making them tonight! Thanks. :-)
If I hear from Chung-Ah what kind she used I will pass that information along. I always like to recommend to people who ask what to use, that they use the apple they like best because obviously you want to enjoy the taste of the apple in the muffin. :) Enjoy!
Update – Fuji apples were used, but she recommended you use your favorite :)
Thanks for the response Rachel! I’m actually going to try a new apple called Honeycrisp to see what I think. I’ll report back.
