Ingredients

1 box spice cake mix
1 ½ cups applesauce
1 apple chopped

Instructions

Chop the apple into small ¼” sized chunks.
Mix cake mix, apple sauce, and apple chunks in a large bowl, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl for any dry mix to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
Scoop the batter into a pre-lined and greased muffin tin with a ½ cup scooper. This batter makes 15 muffins. You will need a second tin. Or you can add extra batter to the other muffins. They may take longer to cook and will spill over the top slightly.
Bake at 350°F for 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Storage: Once cooled to room temperature, store 3 ingredient apple muffins in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. It is best to keep them in a cool, dry spot in your kitchen without direct sunlight for 2 to 3 days. These muffins are already quite moist and get even more so over time.

Freezing: For extended storage or meal prepping, you can freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Reheat apple muffins in a microwave for 10 to 15 seconds per muffin. For a crispier exterior and best results, reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes.
