Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Apple muffins in the morning, apple muffins in the afternoon and why not in the evening!! What I am trying to say here is APPLE MUFFINS ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

This is a healthier alternative to chocolate chips muffins and to be honest I had a lot of apples and I really needed to use them up.

I love cinnamon so every time I have the chance to sprinkle some on, I definitely do!! Personally, I am not a big fan of nuts but if you are, feel free to add some walnuts or almonds for some extra crunch.
