When I started making these Apple Fritter Muffins, I kept finding that everyone would gobble them up in minutes. So I soon decided that it was best to make giant versions of them when I could. I just triple the recipe ingredients use extra large muffin pans when to bake them. If you decide to give the giant ones a try, just make sure you add about another 10 minutes onto the baking time.

Tips on how to make the best Apple Fritter Muffins possible.

• If you want an extra gooey muffin, add your Autumn Glory Apples to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture before you start to make your batter. This will allow your mixture to liquify by the juices of your apples.
