Mulberry Muffins with Apples Recipe

Everybody needs a basic berry muffin recipe in their cookbook! And my basic berry muffin recipe works beautifully to make Mulberry Muffins with Apples and Streusel Topping!

This year I decided that I didn’t want to let all of the beautiful mulberries that my tree produces go to the birds. Literally. (And what they leave behind ends up rotting on the ground, very smelly.) I intended to make some very frugal jam and had produced one batch at the cost of a whopping $.22 per pint (compare that to the $1.44 per pint I made strawberry jam for!). Then my transformation into a sewing machine quickly brought all of my (j)ambitions to an end. I was certain that by the time we came home from Boston the birds would have scavenged all remaining berries. I was pleasantly surprised that there were still some remaining and set about harvesting fruit. My disappointment at having too few berries from that harvest disappeared after one bite of my backup plan!

With the pint of berries I gleaned, I made Mulberry Muffins with Apples and Streusel Topping. I love the versatility of this recipe because you can use the same muffin recipe and are only limited by the berries you have on hand and your imagination. I also appreciate the recipe for those days when I don’t have my sourdough starter bubbling away and I can’t make Berry Sourdough Muffins.
The bad news is that the mulberries are officially gone and the season is over. The good news is that in many parts of the country blueberry season is getting underway. My local pick-your-own blueberry farm opens for business in just two weeks! In which case this recipe will transform back into its blueberry adaptation.
