It’s been awhile since I have put up any recipes that make good use of fresh apples, so I figured I would share my apple muffins recipe with everyone today. Most of you probably already have an abundance of apples ready for use at this time of year and this recipe is perfect for that. These muffins have a delicious cinnamon topping that everyone is sure to enjoy. Some of the ingredients in the muffins include chopped fresh apples, flour, butter, and vanilla. This is a pretty basic recipe that is easy to make and will be out of the oven in no time at all. Enjoy.

- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

In a large bowl beat together butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in apples and then gradually blend in the flour mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan.
- To make the cinnamon topping- in a small bowl mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until the mixture is like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the tops of the batter in the muffin pan.

these look really tasty. about how big were the diced apple pieces?
Megan – the diced apple pieces were no bigger than 3/4 of an inch.
I made these last week and I have named them “AMAZING Apple Muffins”! Wow. My batter was more like a dough, but that didn’t stop them from being delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
So, I ended up making these for all the guys who came to help us move. Everyone loved them and they were gone before I even realized it. They kind of remind me of an apple coffee cake. When I made them I was also packing and it was late. I accidentally put 1 2/3 of a cup of apples and they still turned out wonderful :).
