What is the best apple to use in apple muffins?

Firmer apples are generally a better choice for baking. Think apples like Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, or Jonathan. You can do a mix of more tart and more sweet, something like a Granny Smith and a Fuji or Pink Lady.

Can I make these dairy free?

Yes! Swap out the butter for your favorite dairy-free butter. I find I get the best results with stick based vegan butters, like Earth Balance or “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”. To replace the sour cream, use your favorite dairy free sour cream or dairy free yogurt. Just make sure that it is a vanilla or plain flavored yogurt. You can also check out my vegan apple cake for a recipe that is already dairy free!

Can I make these gluten free?

Yes. While I haven’t made this particular recipe with gluten-free flour, I would say that a good quality gluten free flour with xanthan gum would work. I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure as I get good results with that flour in my other baking. You can also check out my gluten free apple cinnamon muffins or apple coffee cake for a gluten free option that was specifically made for gluten free flours!

Why is everything room temperature?

That has to do with science! Room temperature ingredients mix better with each other so you get a softer baked good.
