This terrifically tender Apple Cinnamon Muffin is another new favorite. It’s soft, it’s sweet and it’s jam-packed with fresh, juicy apples. It boasts of a sugar cinnamon crumble, that once baked, becomes crisp and flavorful. This deliciously easy melt-in-your-mouth recipe only needs a bowl. Trust me, this is a muffin you won't be able to resist.
