Apple Muffins
Apple Muffins combine diced apples with a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flours, along with spices like apple pie spice to create a soft, moist muffin. The addition of lemon juice adds brightness and helps maintain the apples' color. Sweetened with both brown and granulated sugar, these muffins bake to a tender crumb and can be enjoyed as a breakfast treat or snack.
