Apple Kugel Muffins

This is a submission to culinarty – Original Recipes.  Check them out.  They have many successful collections which means some great recipes for you.

After completing my last recipe,  the apple dessert/kugel, I had those four peeled apples.  One, I gave to hubby and the other three went into the muffins.  I like lots of apples when I bake.  Adjust to your own preferences.  Muffins are usually a quick and easy recipe and with my apples already peeled, this one took only a few moments to complete.
