Johnny Appleseed Muffins

Johnny Appleseed Muffins ~The best part of these Cinnamon Apple muffins is that they are Weight Watchers and only 1 points plus! With apples in season now and a bumper crop to boot, these are a definite must make on my list. We have an orchard just up the street and the trees are so heavy with apples the limbs are bent to the ground. The smell of fresh apples, cider, donuts and the buzz of the bees permeate the air and I can’t wait to get started with my Fall baking. You can add nuts to these muffins if you wish, but I like my first few batches to be pure apple. How do you use up your fall apples? For more apple recipes see An Apple A day.
