SPICED APPLE CIDER MUFFINS
I'm not sure where I got this recipe, but it was hand written on a napkin and kept in my recipes. I do remember however, that it is one of the healthiest muffins as it was tucked in my low-calorie baking section. I recently found this again and had to make them over the weekend. OMG, looks like a lot of ingredients, but the texture and tastes was wonderful. A crumbly streusel topping made with a small amount of butter provides a delicious finish. No wonder I kept the recipe. I had to post of Zaar so I wouldn't lose that napkin again.

Tips:
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for your muffins. If you don't have fresh apples on hand, you can use frozen or canned applesauce.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for muffins is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the muffins at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may be dry inside.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Spiced apple cider muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. With their moist, tender crumb and sweet, spiced flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or breakfast treat, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
