Apple Pie Muffins {whole wheat}

Prep Yields: 10 muffins

What can I tell you about these muffins – each bit of the development process was a true delight. It began when I had a cut apple which I didn’t want to eat anymore, so like any sensible human being, I too believe a muffin is always a better idea. This muffin is perfect to use up that one last apple that may have become a little too ripe. It’s one of those batters that could make you hesitant and self-doubt when you see the thickness of the batter, but this gives it the dense-type texture, which really makes you feel like biting into an apple pie!
