Apple Cinnamon Walnut Muffins

Now here’s a really easy to make muffin recipe that taste’s delicious and will fill your home with the wonderful aroma of apples and cinnamon while they’re baking.

These muffins are chock-full of apples and walnuts, and the cinnamon and nutmeg adds a wonderful, warm spiciness that will have your taste buds dancing with delight. 🙂

I really couldn’t believe how quickly these muffins were to prepare. The only thing that took any length of time, was peeling and chopping the apples…and that only took about 5 minutes.

I made one batch of these muffins (12), and within 30 minutes of removing them from the oven, half of them had already been devoured by my family. I think I’d better play it safe and make two batches next time. 🙂
