These muffins were such a delicious treat! The combination of sweet apples, crunchy pecans, and warm spices made them perfect for fall.
These were a great way to use some fresh apples. I really liked the nutty flavor from the pecans!
I guess everything really is bigger in Texas. Tastiter, too. These were great.
