Apple Muffins

February 27, 2010 by goodcookbecky 4 Comments

I love the site foodgawker.com.  Today I browsed the pictures and came across a recipe for Apple Muffins.  I happen to have granny smith apples that were begging to be used before they shriveled up into something like a shrunken head in a museum display.. Okay, they were not that bad!!  I made them and they were fantastic!  I also think they would make great cookies!  Just remember to reduce the cooking time.  My brown sugar was looking more solid than usable today, and I used sugar in the raw to sprinkle the tops with. Turned out great!   The cooking time in my oven was more toward the 25 minute mark.  I will use the sugar in the raw every time I make these.  A BIG Thank you to the site that posted them:
