Dutch Apple Pie Muffins

Hard to believe that August is coming to an end but that means apple season is just around the corner! For this month's Muffin Monday I made Suzanne P's Dutch Apple Pie Muffins from Taste of Home.

I added about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the apple mixture.   I made the filling a day ahead and popped it in the fridge and took it out about an hour before I was going to make the muffins. 

I also made a few additions to the batter, in addition to the cinnamon called for I also added some nutmeg, as well as some pure vanilla extract.

 

 My filling didn't stay put in the center of the muffin, and the topping caramelized a teeny bit, but they were still delicious.

Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!
