Snickerdoodle Apple Muffins

Happy fall y’all! Fall is upon us which means that apples and pumpkin recipes are aplenty. I love this time of year for all the reasons that anyone loves fall but food ranks up there in my most favorites. I’ve already made a couple of loaves of this delish pumpkin snickerdoodle bread. It’s the best! Snickerdoodle anything is a favorite around here. There is something about the combo of cinnamon and sugar that adds a fun crunch and sweetness.  I love this snickerdoodle cookie recipe. It’s highly requested by my family and a share-worthy recipe.

I was searching for an easy apple recipe and stumbled upon this apple crumb muffin recipe over at Baker by Nature. I modified it just a bit by sprinkling the tops with cinnamon + sugar instead of the crumb topping and viola, snickerdoodle apple muffins were made.
