Moist easy spelt apple muffins are the perfect snack to eat when you're in a hurry, even the children will love them. This delicious spelt apple muffin recipe is a version of my moist spelt banana muffins recipe and is versatile to mix and match to suit your likes. Apple muffins are made with wholegrain spelt flour or your choice, fresh diced golden delicious apples, cinnamon, pea milk (or your choice), melted butter or oil and only one egg but this could be easily swapped out for a flax egg instead to make this vegan.
