Apple Cinnamon Chip Muffins

Sharing is caring!

I figured I would take a brief break from my pumpkin extravaganza and bake with another fall favorite…apples! I came across this recipe on allrecipes. The crumb topping is what sold me. I have yet to meet someone that is not smitten with a crumb topping!

I decided to tweak this recipe a tad by adding in some applesauce and throwing in mini cinnamon chips. If you missed my post about these lovely cinnamon morsels, you can head directly to The Prepared Pantry site to order them.

These muffins baked up nicely and were super moist, the mini chips added a nice burst of cinnamon flavor, plus they added those beautiful flecks of color to the muffin. These moist apple cinnamon muffins would be a delectable breakfast or mid afternoon snack, and they were perfect with a cup of tea!

Speaking of muffins, I just purchased a extra large muffin tin and liners from amazon. If you have any muffin recipes that yield a big, moist, bakery style muffin, send them my way by leaving a comment on this post, via email at mybakingaddiction{at}gmail.com or through Twitter.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous fall day!
