Indulge in simplicity: Yoghurt apple pie muffins delight

Apple pie muffins are perfect for a quick afternoon snack. They are easy to pack and take to school or work to enhance your lunch. They require little work and are a worthy substitute for the apple pie loved by everyone in the family. The yoghurt cake is straightforward and quick to prepare and works not only for a classic fruit cake.

The keys to sweet success are soft and delicate yoghurt-based cake, sweet apples, and a touch of cinnamon. You can prepare these muffins swiftly without even using a mixer. With a moment of mixing and a little patience during baking, you can enjoy a dessert that quickly leaves only empty muffin tins.

The addition of yoghurt makes the cake moist and delicate in taste. It is neither dry nor crumbly, making these muffins a pure pleasure to eat.

You can substitute white sugar with brown sugar and vanilla sugar with real vanilla extract. Melted and slightly cooled butter can also replace the oil. It's best to use firm and tart apples, such as Ligol, for this recipe.
