The combination of buttermilk and apple in these spiced apple muffins makes an incredibly soft and moist crumb.
I used Granny Smith apples for these muffins. They're my favourite baking apple due to their slight tartness and juiciness. This recipe makes 6 larger sized muffins or 12 regular sized.
The flour used was FG Roberts plain flour of course! You can use any bread of gluten free flour, just keep in mind that some are thirstier and you need to adjust the amount of buttermilk so the muffins are not dry.
I use pasture raised eggs that average 55gm each (minus the shell) and always at room temperature. If you are allergic to egg, try replacing the eggs with 1/4 natural greek yoghurt.
