Did you go apple picking this fall?  We go each year and then have apples to enjoy well into the cold winter months.  We turn them into pies, apple butter and applesauce.  I fry them up as a side dish for dinner, pickle them, and add them to main courses like this Braised Pork Roast with Apples, Sweet Potatoes and Parsnips.

Of course, they go into tons of other Dessert recipes and have even found their way into this Apple Cheddar Chop Bread.  Today they went into Muffins.  This recipe calls for 2 cups finely diced apples, that was 2 large apples, I used one Spy and one Jonathon.

It takes only a couple of minutes to turn these apples into a pie filling, that you set aside to cool, before making the muffins.

Once the apples have cooled, fill the tins 3/4 of the way with batter and spoon the apples on top.

Sprinkle them with a streusel topping and pop them into the oven for 20 minutes.

Enjoy these flavorful fall muffins for breakfast with your coffee, as an afternoon snack with your tea or around the campfire with a glass of hot cider.  Happy Fall Y'all.
