Apple & Cinnamon Muffins

Sugar and spice make ‘apple muffins’ nice. Lovely. I bought mini Granny Smith (green) apples to make a pie but didn’t get to do so, instead I made some cinnamon apple muffins which worked out quiet a treat, and absolutely quick to whip up as well. Cinnamon and apples are just made for each other and this time, I paired the two with chocolate chips. Yum! 

Enjoy!
