Delicious !!! Best Apple Cinnamon Muffins I have ever tasted.
Wow. What a great recipe! Thanks so much for creating a great tasting and beautiful muffin. They are light and fluffy and packed with apple flavor.
I made these today on a very cold and snowy day. They made us very happy.
Delicious! I love them so much amd my husband too. I can’t wait to make them for my friends and family.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! The muffins turned out moist and not too sweet.
This recipe was very easy to follow great flavor. Apples took a little longer to chop than I anticipated. Definitely worth the time. My house smells amazing.
I thought the recipe was great. I soaked my apple pieces in ice water and a little lemon juice while mixing up the ingredients and used a slotted spoon to add the apples a little at a time. The extra moisture on the apples was just enough to thin out the mixture and mix everything in.
Awesome! So moist and super easy!
Instant family fave.
I will definitely make these again! Delicious!
Very good very sweet
Absolutely delicious and very easy. Will make these again for sure.
A perfectly tender and delicious apple spice muffin recipe.
These muffins are wonderful. I had enough batter, mostly because I put in more apples, to make two mini loaves along with the twelve muffins. Just a great morning treat! This will be a keeper for sure. Thank you for this.
Good recipe. I used a box grater on unpeeled, home grown organic apples.
