Apple Buttermilk Muffins
What better way to start the day than with warm, fragrant muffins packed with moist apples. Muffins can be made in minutes. For a tender texture, use a light hand when mixing the wet and dry ingredients (stir the batter just until the flour is moistened), then gently fold in added extras, and bake.
