I made these for the first time Christmas morning and everybody just loved them. They are so moist and deee-lish!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What could be better than waking up on a fall morning to the smell of apple pie muffins? Super moist, the muffins are buttery with chunks of apple inside. On top is a delicious cinnamon-spiced crumble. They kind of taste like apple strudel. Yum!
