Apples are at the lowest price of the year which means it’s a great time to bake with apples! I love the smell of apples cooking. Well actually it’s probably the smell of the spices that are generally used with baking apples! Cinnamon really reminds me of autumn and everything yummy to eat!

These muffins can be made lower fat by substituting applesauce for the oil. I do this all of the time when baking and achieve good results! Two other surprise ingredients in this recipe are almond milk and Greek yogurt. Remember that if you don’t have almond milk on hand, you can easily make homemade almond milk.
