With the long days of summer behind us and the kids making plans for back-to-school shopping before the first day of classes in two weeks, my thoughts are cooler days, beautiful fall sweaters and of course, baking! While Pumpkin Spice everything is on the top of everyone’s list, my Homemade Apple Cinnamon Muffin recipe is on mine.
Naturally low in sugar and made with real, fresh apples, this is one treat you can feel good about serving to your family. Loaded with whole grain oats and quinoa, this recipe is as delicious as it is NuTRISHous!
I hope you enjoy!
