How to Easily Convert Into Apple Cornbread Muffins

Any cornbread muffin mix can easily be converted into Apple Cinnamon Cornbread!

Another brand I've used before is Trader Joes cornbread. It has chunks of real corn kernels in it for another unique texture and added sweetness.

Peeled and chopped apples tossed with cinnamon is simply mixed in to the cornbread mixture to create a unique twist on classic cornbread recipes.

What To Serve With Apple Cornbread Muffins

I actually loved these with a delicious, homemade compound butter! A spicy, sweet honey butter whipped to perfection and spread all over the muffins is delightful.

Spicy Honey Butter

Combine room temperature butter, honey, and red pepper flakes and whip together with a hand mixer.

Use immediately on Apple Cornbread Muffins!

    I was looking for an easy recipe for some breakfast muffins. I always keep a box of Jiffy cornbread mix in the pantry so I was happy to see this recipe. I added some chopped walnuts and a bit of granola for a topping. It was a hit on Sunday morning. I can see that these muffins can have many different ingredients added or made just as the recipe describes. Thanks for the inspiration.
