At our house, Rosh Hashanah cannot happen without honey muffins. At least, that’s the way my kids see it. It’s a family project, and by now, a family tradition, too. This recipe was given to me by a relative in Israel who bakes them all the time and claims that no matter how many batches she bakes, there are never enough. She’s absolutely right. We once baked a quadruple batch of these (sans the apples) for a bake sale on our block and we were left without a crumb!
Yields about 48 muffins
Tips:
I recently discovered an amazing gadget called “The Cupcake (or Muffin) Pen.” It really removes the whole messy aspect of filling cupcake pans with batter. Look for it in specialty equipment stores.
Notes:
The apples are optional; I find that some children prefer the muffins plain. We add the apples for Rosh Hashanah (very loudly singing, “Dip the apple in the hoooonneeeeyyy” as we do so) but throughout the year, we bake them plain.

Does it freeze well or rather keep them in the fridge for a few days?
Yes, freezes well!
Was Really a hit! My family loved it!
I loved this recipe!!
Super easy and fast (for the most part).
I halved the recipe and still got almost 50 muffins- my tins must have been smaller than what was used when making the recipe.
I got so many compliments and everyone loved them. Definitely saving this recipe for years to come (and having as a general winter muffin).
I made these for Rosh Hashana picnic and they came out great. I used whatever many different apples I had at home. Also I divided the recipe in 3 to make only 16 muffins. 🙂
Honey cake muffins. Can you use coffee instead of tea in the honey fruit muffins. Thank you I have not made the muffins as yet, have always made my honey cake with coffee so wanted to bake the muffins also with coffee.
Would it alter the taste if I did not use tea?
Hi- you could try adding coffee, it might add a slight hint of coffee, but I’m sure it won’t make a huge difference.
Amazing! I made it for rosh hashana, the kids loved it and asked for more!
Delicious! I made these before Rosh Hashana and they were a hit. I halved the recipe as it seemed like a lot and that was a perfect amount.
Great! So happy!
tea? what type of tea, regular lipton?
Yup. Regular like that.
