Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Okay, as promised I finally baked! I have been craving some muffins lately, but since I am trying to be healthy (recovering from pregnancy is no easy task you know) I wanted to ensure I didn’t have to eat them all by myself. Have you ever seen this video on youtube, my friends know it’s one of my favorites, I have probably watched it at least a dozen or so times. Well with that said, I decided to make muffins that everyone would love, Apple + Cinnamon = crowd pleaser. This recipe is simple and easy, you probably even have everything on hand to make them. So head on into the kitchen and mix yourself up a batch of these beauties. Remember muffins aren’t just for breakfast, these are delicious warm, but they would be even more amazing sliced in half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy and happy baking!
