Yummy apple muffins

I was just talking to my friend about apple picking, one of the fun activities to do in the fall. The conversation moved on to what we could make with apples: applesauce, apple crisp, & apple muffins to name a few.  After making a couple apple crisps recently, I wanted something a little different, so I made apple muffins yesterday.  We are really enjoying them. Cinnamon apple goodness!!!

My friend and I agreed, once apple season is over, pumpkins are next on the baking list.  Oh the delicious fall flavors!!!  Pumpkin bread is #1 on my list.  How about yours?

Here is the muffin recipe adapted from one on allrecipes.com.
