You can use shredded cheese in place of the cubed cheese but the large chunks of cheese and apple add texture and bursts of flavor and moistness to each bite. So I recommend at least trying them this way at least once to get the full effect of my recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups of your favorite apples, roughly chopped
6 oz. cubed cheese
1 tsp. cinnamon
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup apple juice
½ cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400
Makes 12 muffins
1. Cube cheese and apples and set aside
2. Sift to combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, if you dont have a sifter then just stir with a whisk-this helps incorporate dry ingredients more evenly and “fluff” them up.
3. Stir in milk and apple juice to mix well.
4. Fold in cheese and apples until just combined.
5. Scoop batter into greased muffin tin or papers to ⅔ of the way full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center
Kids and adults will love these muffins!

Everyone is posting the most yummy looking food lately.
I need to try some of these recipes.
Fall has the best recipes don’t ya think? All that comfort food and yummy pumpkin and apple desserts. I’ve pinned so many!
I have GOT to try these for I love the combination of apples and cheddar!
I just made pumpkin spice mini muffins, a few to enjoy soon with a second cup of coffee but most to send over to Mr. & Mrs. Christopher. Mrs. C asked her father-in-law if he could install a couple of things in their house and since she keeps him supplied with green bean casserole on the Holidays, he was happy to say yes!
I’ve never had cheddar cheese with apples – I know it’s a common flavor combination. These look delicious! I pinned so I can make them later. Thank you!
Mmmm..these look so good! I will definitely try this out. I love cheese with apples but never thought to put them together in a muffin. Genius!
I never would have thought of pairing cheese with apples. I’ll have the try that! Thanks for linking up at Frugal Friday.
