The Ultimate Ease of Air Fryer Muffins

Why make muffins in the air fryer? The rapid circulation of hot air ensures a tender crumb and perfectly domed tops, with less preheating and energy use than an oven. Apples add a gentle sweetness and moisture, while cinnamon brings warmth and spice, making these muffins a crowd-pleaser kids and adults love.

Prepping Apples the Smart Way

For perfectly diced apples that blend seamlessly into your batter, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to get uniform chunks quickly. This step not only saves you time but ensures apples are evenly distributed throughout every muffin, guaranteeing consistent flavor and texture.
