I am a fan when it comes to quick and easy recipes. I have had this recipe for years and just this past week brought it out since I had purchased a few too many Granny Smith apples. The name says it all – it tastes like Apple Crisp in a muffin. The dough is more like cookie dough than a muffin batter. You fil the muffin cups full and pat the mixture into the cups. The results – a dense almost cookie like muffin with the crunch and apple goodness of apple crisp. If you are a fan of apple crisp, you must try these muffins.
Update:
I just received this comment from one of my readers and wanted to pass along – I always love to hear comments and this one you might want to try:
Hi Carol
Tried the apple crisp muffins! Used applesauce instead of oil and 1/2 less sugar. They were outstanding!
