Apple Poppers Recipe – Mini Apple Muffins
Today I’ve got a super yummy recipe to share with you guys… Apple Poppers! Last year my Pumpkin Poppers were a HUGE hit so I thought I’d come up with a new version this year. During fall I’m obsessed with apple treats, and this is definitely one of my family’s favorites.
These are just as delicious and super easy to make too… like mini apple doughnuts made in a mini muffin tin.
Such a yummy fall treat! My kiddos have been enjoying them all week….. I had to ration them.. they only got 2 a day. Seriously, if you don’t, they’ll be gone in less than an hour.
Mini Muffins – Mini Donuts
These bite-sized treats are basically like little apple cinnamon muffins, or doughnut holes. They are made in a min muffin tin but they puff up into a round shape, perfect to grab and eat.
My guess if you’ll have most of the ingredients you need below, except maybe the apple pie filling. If you want to use fresh apples and cinnamon to make a homemade apple pie filling I’ve got a recipe here for you.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
What makes these delicious apple donuts / muffins so extra delicious is that they are dunked in melted butter and a cinnamon sugar mixture after they are baked. That sweet coating compliments the apple doughnut so well.
And of course you want the Apple Popper Recipe….
