Ingredientes e Substituições
Você só precisa de alguns ingredientes simples para fazer esta receita. Veja como escolher e substituir os ingredientes.

- Farinha para todos os fins – This ingredient is the primary dry component that gives the muffins their structure. You can also use spelt flour or a gluten-free blend with my GF method for a similar result.
- Açúcar de cana não refinado – This adds a touch of sweetness to the muffins and the crumble topping. You can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar, or a sugar-free alternative.
- Fermento em pó e bicarbonato de sódio – These are the leavening agents that work together to make the muffins light and fluffy.
- Azeite de Oliva de Sabor Suave – This adds moisture and creates a tender crumb. Any neutral oil, such as canola or melted plant-based butter, also works well.
- Purê de abóbora – This provides moisture, a beautiful color, and a subtle, earthy flavor to the muffins. Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pie filling, which has added sugars and spices.
- Purê de maçã sem açúcar – This helps to bind the ingredients and adds natural moisture and sweetness. You can also use mashed banana if you prefer.
- Apple – The finely diced apple pieces provide little pockets of moisture and a sweet-tart flavor that works perfectly with the pumpkin.
- Especiarias de abóbora – This is a blend of warming spices that brings the classic flavors of fall to the muffins. You can create your own blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg.
- Nozes – These are for the crumble topping and add a nice nutty flavor and crunchy texture. You can also use pecans or almonds.
- Canela – This is used in the crumble topping to add a warm, sweet aroma and flavor.
How to Make Apple Pumpkin Muffins




Dicas de confeitaria da Carine
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect muffins.
- Dice the Apples Small – Chopping the apples into very small cubes, about 0.2 inches (0.5 cm), is key. If the pieces are too big, they can make the muffin crumb fragile and won’t distribute evenly in the batter.
- Choose the Right Apple – For the best result, use a firm apple like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These varieties hold their shape well during baking and won’t get mushy.
- Use Pure Pumpkin – Make sure you are using 100% pure canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pie filling has added sugars and spices that will change the flavor and texture of your muffins.
- Swap the Applesauce – If you prefer or don’t have applesauce on hand, you can swap it for an equal amount of mashed bananas.
- Add a Nutty Crunch – For extra flavor and texture, you can stir 1/3 cup of finely chopped pecans or walnuts directly into the muffin batter.
- Cobertura opcional – You can skip the crumb topping if you want to reduce the sugar and calories. The muffins are still delicious on their own.







Obrigada por compartilhar esta receita!
O prazer é meu!
I made these but used cranberries instead of apples..
I was just told by an avid baker I could give her a run for her money in a baking competition.
That sounds delicious this way! thanks for sharing with me.
When I made this recipe it came out very dry, it was cookie texture dry.
I added 1 cup of coconut milk based on other muffin recipes from your website in order to obtain the proper muffin mix and they came out great! Thanks!
It quite impossible, unless your pumpkin puree was homemade and ultra dry, or you overpacked the flour in your cup. This recipe contains lots of liquid/dry ingredient, there’s no need of milk. I am still glad you managed to fix your batch and get something tasty.
Great recipe!
Please confirm: ingredients do not say to peel the apples (only to wash and cut), but the instructions say to mix in the peeled apples. So when I made this, I had prepped the apples unpeeled so they were already cut up when it was time to mix them in. It worked out fine but which way should it be? Thanks!
You can do both, unpeeled add fibers and texture, peeled is great too !
Super moist, delicious muffins!
The crumble topping is a must!!
I agree! so much better with the sweet crunchy topping. Thanks for baking my recipes.
You really give the words due diligence new meaning I never leave a recipe of yours curious if this or that will work. Much thanks
Saúde e felicidade
Muito obrigado!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I thought the texture was perfect, and they tasted great!
My pleasure! I am so happy to read that.
Will recipe work if I don’t add apples and just use applesauce?
Sim vai!
Olá,
if i don’t eat and add sugar, will it come out nicely?
They won’t firm up very well without sugar at all. The sugar crystalize and help binding all the wet ingredients.
Great recipe. Delicious & moist. I didn’t put nuts in because I shared the recipe with friends. Some are allergic to nuts. I’ll make this again.
That’s amazing to hear! thanks for baking my recipes.
