These moist apple muffins are loaded with apple chunks, swirls of cinnamon, and a crispy sugar topping, its delicious to say the least. Make them perfectly moist by opting to shred 1 of the 3 apples allowing some of the apple to melt right into the batter. These muffins are not only moist, but also light and not too sweet. I would happily eat one for a quick breakfast or dessert. Another perk is the amazing smell these little guys make while they bake. The first time I attempted an apple muffin recipe, they came out a bit too dry. I tweaked it just right including swapping out butter for oil, which made a big difference. Give them a try and let me know what you think. PS, sorry if I offended any one who hates the word MOIST.
