Where do you find canned cinnamon-fried apples?
I buy canned cinnamon apples at Aldi in the canned fruit section. You can also buy this brand of fried canned apples. If you can’t find canned fried apples, you can use pie filling, but I would omit the sugar from the recipe if you choose to use pie filling.
You can also choose to make cinnamon apples on the stove to use in this recipe. When making cinnamon apples on the stove, I like to use a granny smith/Honeycrisp combo and saute them on the stove with brown sugar, a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, two teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a little lemon juice.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients in a second mixing bowl: oil, canned apples, vanilla extract, sugar, and egg.
- Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir well.
- Using a cookie scoop, fill the muffin tins with batter.
- Cook in the oven for 20-23 minutes. Ensure a toothpick can come out clean before removing it from the oven. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top if you like.
- Let muffins cool and serve.
