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. Or these Apple Cinnamon Muffins.

Looks good… I’d probably use butter instead of margarine, but no big deal. I love apples in my food!
I love apples too. We live next door to an orchard and stock up this time of year to have enough apples to last for months. I amglad you like the recipe. Enjoy your week!
Marilyn, I love recipes that can be modified to be healthy and if it is only 1 point in Weight Watchers that is great. Thanks for being a great co-host and sharing this yummy recipe with us at #AnythingGoes.
