Apple Pie Muffins

The perfect marriage of two favorites desserts, these Apple Pie Muffins are a great snack for after school or really any time of day! Is there a better combination than Apple Pie and Muffins? If so, I’ve yet to find one. There’s something about classic apple pie that makes me nostalgic for late summer nights, the beginnng of fall and that coveted time with family and friends. I wanted to come up with a recipe that was reminiscent of that same feeling. Making apple pie into muffins just felt like the perfect combo!
