My favorite fall flavors come together for this delicious and satisfying Apple Cinnamon Almond Muffin recipe!
The great thing about muffins are that they are already portion controlled and provide a great option for on-the-go breakfast or midday snack.
These muffins are super easy to make. You can use your favorite type of apple, but I used Gala which are crunchy and sweet!
