Love this recipe, inspiration from: www.texanerin.com 

I doubled it to make ~24 muffins. 

By the way, Joann Fabrics has great halloween decor/baking accessories on sale. Love my new Halloween cupcake liners!

Ingredients:

2 c. whole wheat flour

1 t. baking powder

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. nutmeg

1 t. pumpkin pie spice

1 1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 eggs

2/3 c. honey

1/2 c. olive oil or coconut oil

2 t. vanilla extract

1/2 c. plain or vanilla greek yogurt

2 c. apples - peeled and chopped in small cubes

For the topping:

Mix in a small bowl cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle on top of muffins before they bake!

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your muffin tin with muffin liners.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

3. In another bowl, whisk the egg. Add honey, olive oil and vanilla. Then add the yogurt.

4. Add the flour mix to the wet mix just until combined (don’t overmix). Then fold in the apples. Pour batter in cupcake liner, filling to about halfway.

5. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of each muffin. It adds a nice crust and a little extra sweetness.

6. Bake for about 15 – 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

8. When the muffins are completely cooled, place them in an airtight container to keep them moist.

Happy Baking!
