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.

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.
