Apple Dessert Ideas

A few weeks ago I was at an antique shop and spotted this adorable recipe booklet. I fell in love with it for the graphic, but the inside was just as sweet. As you might have guessed it was filled with old fashioned apple recipes including the apple muffins recipe you see below.

Not only did I buy it, but I decided to do my own spin on the apple muffins recipe inside. Sorry, I can’t get down with raisins…so I decided to omit those from the recipe and see how they turned out.

Take a look at this easy and delicious apple muffins recipe. The kids (and neighbors) were a fan, and I think you will be too!
