Soaked Apple Cinnamon Muffins | As fall settles in, apples start ripening on the trees, begging to be picked and made into all sorts of delights! One of my favorites is soaked apple cinnamon muffins. Easy to make and yummy, they are wonderful straight out of the oven with butter spread on top. They also make a great breakfast with eggs or a gift to the neighbors. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

It's fall, and you know what rain means!

When the weather cools after a long summer, I resume my baking. There is absolutely nothing like the warm smell of cinnamon wafting around the house, tickling your nose. It makes me want to curl up in a cozy corner with a good book!

As fall settles in, apples start ripening on the trees, begging to be picked and made into all sorts of delights! This is such a fun activity to do with the kids — I still remember climbing up the apple tree at my parents' house to help with the harvest. We picked bushels of them until the tree died and made apple cider, apple sauce, and apple butter.

Now I buy apples in bulk from Azure Standard. It's an amazing co-op with so many organic and bulk products. Every year I seem to buy more apples so I can make all of my old childhood favorites. 😉

    We like apple pie and apple dumplings. I order from Azure Standard every month but I don’t have good luck with produce. It has to travel too far to get here and doesn’t keep well. 🙁 I wonder if apples would do better though. Their prices are really much better than what I can get at the grocery store.

      I’ve almost always had a good experince with my apples from them and butternut squash too. The only time I didn’t like the apples was when I ordered them in Dec/Jan. Since they aren’t growing then it makes sense that they were as fresh.

    I would double the amount of apples next time I make these. The cooking time seemed too long, they were burnt after only 15 mins.

      I’m sorry that happened. It may be that your oven (or maybe mine) is off.

    Will an organic store bought yogurt work, or does it need to be from raw milk?

      Yes, store bought organic yogurt is fine. It just needs to have good bacteria for the soaking which pasteurized milk does not, yogurt does though!

    What could you use to shoot the batter, if you don’t have raw milk, kefir or yoghurt?

      Canned coconut or water and two tablespoons of whey, apple cider vinegar (with the mother), kombucha, or water kefir.

    Is the salt to be added along with the flour, cinnamon, etc. before the 7 to 24 hour soak? I see it listed in the ingredients but not in the instructions.

      You can add salt before or after soaking, Theresa. Whatever works for you!

    Soaked this recipe overnight and about to bake! Thanks! Question: what size is best to dice the apples? 1 inch pieces? Less? Thank you! Cannot wait to try!

      Hi Tara, I usually dice apples in about 1/4 inch pieces. 🙂
