Apple Spice Nut Muffins

One of my favorite things about fall is apples — they just seem to taste so much better this time of year. This is a great muffin recipe to have with breakfast, warm up with a cup of tea, or anytime you want a healthy little snack. Give it a try and let me know if you like it!
