Apple Cinnamon Muffins
I bought two pecks of apples when I went on a quick weekend trip to Wisconsin in the beginning of October and I was so excited to bake with them. I decided to try a apple cinnamon muffin recipe. I generally find muffins to be really dry, so I decided to use half maple syrup and half white sugar for sweetener. It made SUCH a big difference in how moist the muffins are.
I used McIntosh and Honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but you can use any apple. I prefer more tart apples, but use what you have at home or what you can find at the grocery store.
Enjoy!
