Blue Ribbon Recipe

These apple muffins will make your house smell absolutely scrumptious while baking. They are tender with bits of apple in each bite. The buttery brown sugar topping is a delicious touch. If you don't enjoy overly spiced baked goods, these are for you. There's just a hint of cinnamon. Enjoy this apple muffin any time of the year, but especially in the fall when apples are at their best.
