MY OTHER RECIPES
I don’t know about you, but there is just something about mini muffins that I just can’t resist. They are just so fun. I have to be careful, or I can pop half a dozen in my mouth without even thinking about it!
The first time I made these muffins, I just sprinkled the tops with cinnamon sugar. They were good, but rolling them in the cinnamon sugar mixture after they bake made them extra scrumptious!
For one of my trial batches, I grated the apples. We prefer the diced apples, because the flavor is more pronounced. But if you have kids who don’t like fruit in their muffins, go ahead and grate them. The muffins will be a little more dense, but still delicious!

Wow! The muffins looks so chewy and yummy. Can’t wait to have it. I’m gonna try this soon Kara :) Thanks for the share.
These look delicious. Do you think they could be made as regular-sized muffins? What’s your guess at a cook time?
I would guess 30 minutes, but want to check at 20 and 25 the first time to make sure they don’t cook faster. :)
Look good. Would help to have metric measurements alongside American BTW
