Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Last week I went to Noosa with my good friend Cara, and at the moment she is addicted to Apple Cinnamon Muffins so we went to little bakery and bought the most amazing muffin it was lovely and moist topped with butter icing. We loved it so much that we were back there the next day and bought two more for our drive back home.


So since then I was inspired to try and make a muffin just as good. When I make muffins I always mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Then using a wooden spoon fold the ingredients together no more than 20 times. It doesn't matter if there are lumps in the mixture they will still turn out fluffy and amazingly moist.


I love this recipe you can use the basic muffin mixture and put in what every you like.
