Apple and Zucchini Muffins #MuffinMonday

A few years ago I was given fruit trees as a birthday gift.  This year, I got my first apples. Only 6  and they were small but, added to the zucchini I had from my neighbor, they made delicious muffins and quick breads.

It's time for Muffin Monday...............
Each month, Stacy of Food Lust People Love, invites us to join her in posting a muffin recipe.  Muffins are like the perfect food.  They can be savory or sweet.  They can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a side for lunch or dinner or as a snack anytime.

They take only minutes to mix up and less than a half hour to bake.  You can take all those little bits and pieces of items in your pantry and refrigerator and add them to your batter to make your muffin into any flavor you desire. 

Let's take a look at what everyone baked up today........ 

Muffin Monday
#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page. .



Breads and Muffins

The recipe I am sharing with you today was adapted from one found in Taste of Home.  It made enough batter for 12 muffins, 6 mini loaves, 1 full loaf and 4 small loaves.  My freezer is filled with these lovelies for enjoyment until next season.

      We had apple and pear that we planted at our old house. The pear trees were very prolific every other year. The apple trees never took off. Here we have 2 pear, 2 apple, a prune plum and a peach tree. Planted 3 years ago. 3 pears this year that never matured and the few apples. Fingers crossed for next year.

    How exciting that your apple tree has started to bear fruit! We planted a pecan tree last year and I hope I live long enough for it to give me pecans. It grows soooooooo slowly! Love the apple zucchini combo!

    Both zucchini and apples would make it soft and moist. Great idea to have both in this recipe. Delicious! I am going to try soon.
