Just a Cheesey Apple Muffin.
I love, love, love apples and cheese. There are other fruit/vegan cheese combos that I love, but apples and vegan cheddar were meant for each other in the best kind of way. Since apple picking, I had an insane amount of apples that needed to be created into something delicious and preferably with vegan cheddar cheese. Since, I’ve done everything from scones, grilled cheese and a buckle, I thought hey!! How about a cheesey apple muffin?!? And then cheesey apple muffins were made.
Cheesey-Apple Muffins
Ingredients:
1 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1c whole wheat flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ c unbleached cane sugar
1 c unsweetened non-dairy milk mixed with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (I used So Delicious Almond Plus)
1 tsp Ener-G egg replacer (dry–not mixed with water)
½ c neutral tasting oil (like safflower or canola)
1 c Daiya cheddar style shreds
2 apples, chopped ( I used Honeycrisp–that I bought at the orchard. They don’t offer u-pick on those as girls like me would devour the entire orchard in like….an hour…… but Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or many others would work just as well)
Method:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegan buttermilk (non-dairy milk + apple cider vinegar) as well as the oil. Stir until just combined. Then add the cheese and apples and fold in to combine. Using a ¼ c as a measure, scoop batter into prepared muffin tins. You’ll end up with a little extra batter, so you can prep an additional muffin tin for a few extra or mini cake or loaf pan if you’d like something with a different shape. Bake for 18-20 min.

I’d completely forgotten how well cheese and apple go together til you reminded me – we always used to eat cheese with apple pie when we were little!
Those muffins look top!
Thanks! Cheese and tart-sweet apples are my favorite. Not sure if you have Daiya brand vegan cheese–it’s great! They make the best cheddar around! Although I do try and buy up the Redwood Foods Cheesely when we get a shipment over here because I love that stuff as well. 🙂
I would love to eat these! Did you send your recipe to “So Delicious”?
It’s been forever since I’ve made anything with apple and cheddar in it, I really want to try this with the Daiya cheddar wedge, mmmm.
