These muffins were inspired by an overabundance of apples from a day in the orchard with my family. Twenty-four muffins disappeared from the cooling rack in minutes (or seconds!). You can substitute all white whole wheat flour and they’ll taste just as good. They freeze well and make a quick healthy breakfast for hurried mornings.
