snickerdoodle apple muffins
This is a Fall classic in our home! The muffins taste like Snickerdoodle cookies. They're great for breakfast, with a cup of steaming hot coffee. Muffins are said to originate in 1874 in New York City when British Immigrant Samuel Bath Thomas adapted his English Muffin recipe to better appeal to Americans. That led to the "toaster crumpet" (or muffin, to locals). Several variations then became popular across the U.S. The "snickerdoodle muffin" was inspired by Nellie Campbell's popular Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe which she shared in her New York City newspaper column in the late 1800s.
