Mary Berry Apple Muffins

Mary Berry Apple Muffins

Mary Berry’s apple muffins are classic British-style muffins made with fresh apples folded into a light batter. Inspired by Mary Berry’s straightforward baking approach, the focus is on soft texture, clear apple flavour, and even baking rather than heavy sweetness or complicated techniques.
