Goodbye, potato starch; hello, almond meal! These muffins are light, moist, and almost gooey. They’re filled with soft, tart apples, crunchy, chopped walnuts, and spicy cinnamon for a wonderful taste and texture contrast. And you could totally make these muffins all year round, because they really don’t have that “kosher for Passover” taste.
2 and 1/2 cups almond meal
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons Gefen Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 large, tart apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1-2 tablespoons milk or water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, stir together the almond meal, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix with the dry ingredients until smooth. Mix in the chopped apple and chopped walnuts last.
Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each almost to the top. Bake muffins for about 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins cool before glazing.
In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients until mixture is smooth and is a pourable consistency.
Drizzle glaze in zigzag pattern over each muffin.

Can ground almonds be used?
Yes, they should be fine.
Apple cake Can you bake this is a regular pan for a cake?
I’ve never tried it, it could work but the bake time would definitely need to be adjusted.
can almond flour be used instead of almond meal?
Amazing! These were really good and I would make them year-round.
the batter looks super dry but they baked pretty nicely. it’s a bit grainy from the almond flour but maybe that’s because I didn’t use almond meal…
Excellent – moist and doubled the recipe and it and it came out really great. Used almond flour
Could almond meal be substituted with almond flour or potato starch or matza meal?
yes
is the almond meal the same thing as almond flour- could it be substituted?
yes, almond flour is ground a little finer but they are pretty interchangable
My daughters made these for Passover last year and have continued to enjoy them all year.
