My kids loved these muffins, with delicious little bites of apple throughout and a cinnamon donut style topping the kids had a few of the mini muffins while warm and they said they taste very much like donuts!! This recipe made 12 regular muffins plus 12 mini muffin, which I love as I can add some into the freezer for lunchbox snacks.

Ooh this sounds really good and I like how they make so many, will definitely have to give them a try
I have always made apple and cinnamon muffins but this is a different take on what I cook. Will def give these a go because I love a hot cinnamon donut!
They are super yummy Bec! Enjoy with a nice cuppa.:)
Thank you for all your practical posts! I made these yesterday, very tasty and amazing served warm… Great for children!
Hi Kat, I’ve made these before following your recipe and loved them. I made another batch this morning with the kids hoping to freeze some for school and kindy next week. Silly me, I should have known the kids (and myself) could not resist the yummy smell and taste of these delicious treats. I guess I’ll have to make more when the kids are in bed ? Thanks for the recipe!
