Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

It’s that time again, time for the Surprise Recipe Swap! This month I was assigned to Cindy at Hun…What’s for Dinner?. Cindy’s blog is filled with a ton of recipes to choose from but ultimately I decided to choose a breakfast recipe. My kids love muffins and as soon as I saw her Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins I knew they would be a hit. And they were so much of a hit that I forgot to take a picture of ours before they were all devoured! I will be making them again soon so until then you’ll just have to look at the delicious photos on Cindy’s site .
