Hello Friends! How is your fall season going?
Are you just loving all of the fall produce? Today I am featuring the great taste of apples in a recipe.
Why This Recipe?
Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for some fall flavor! These easy muffins are a nice treat for breakfast or a snack and they come together very quickly.
The delicious flavor of apples and cinnamon are wonderful together in this bakery-style muffin. Topped with a caramelized crumble, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch or as a lunch box snack.
Streusel muffins are always a treat and these have wonderful bits of apple in them.
While this recipe takes a few spices, most of these are items you already have on hand.
Easy Apple Muffin Ingredients
Apples – of course, they are the star of this show. I like to use Granny Smith or Gala apples for this recipe, but honestly, it works with just about any variety of apples.
Butter – Probably my favorite ingredient of all time.- LOL! But seriously, I always use real butter in my recipes, although I try to keep it to a minimum. Margarine will also work in this recipe just fine.
Variations on this recipe.
Nuts - You can easily add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe.

Apples are great for baking because they add moisture. I bet this recipe is wonderful, apples and cinnamon you can't go wrong with it.
