Apple cinnamon goodness
There’s something delicious about apples and cinnamon (just like in our Easy Apple Cake and Apple Crisp recipe)! With that flavor combo in mind, we combined these 2 delicious flavors for the perfect easy muffin recipe – apple cinnamon muffins. The kids have always loved our apple muffins, but now they also love this cinnamon-filled version.
