Nani’s Easy Cinnamon Apple Muffins
These tender apple muffins are packed with warm spice and are the perfect treat for a crisp autumn morning.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven on a chilly fall day. These muffins have become a favorite in my house because they are simple to whip up and keep the kitchen smelling heavenly for hours.
I love using a mix of tart and sweet apples for these to get the best flavor in every bite. If you have extra time, try dusting the tops with a little coarse sugar before they go into the oven for a lovely crunch.
