Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Here’s a tasty muffin full of fall flavors. I have been waiting to start doing some apple recipes for a few weeks now and I just can’t wait any longer. I know I am rushing the end of summer but I am so ready for these hot, hot days to end. I’m trying to fool myself into thinking it is happening. I want to put the top down on the car and not be toast when the ride is over.

I bought my first bag of apples the other day and made these muffins this morning. I have always liked this recipe, the muffins are full of cinnamon and the apples makes the muffins very moist. This is a muffin that will still be good the next day if kept covered.  I used Granny Smith apples but any cooking apple will work.  Courtlands, Johnagolds, Fujis, Granny Smiths or McIntosh are a few apples that come to mind real quick when I think about the kinds of apples I like to bake with.

You will notice in the recipe I use half oil and half butter. I do this because I think that some things like muffins are moister when I do a mix instead of all butter. I think  that butter by itself can sometimes make a baked product drier, especially when there is no creaming of the butter and sugar together to lighten it. It’s your call, use all butter if you desire.
