The theme for this Recipe Swap is blogger's choice. As I have said before, I love this because it is so fun to see what other bloggers are making. I received Lisa's blog Tastetastic Voyage for this swap. I came across her Apple Strudel Muffins and knew I had found my recipe. Lisa also had other delicious recipes such as Root Gratin (yum!). This recipe is really easy to follow, and I used some of the modifications from the original recipe. I also did not grate my apples, and added cinnamon applesauce for a little extra spice. I absolutely loved these muffins! The smell reminds me of apple pie and the coziness of fall. The other great thing about these muffins is that they are delicious cooled or warmed up. It makes me look forward to apple orchards and cider in the next few weeks!
Thank you Lisa for a introducing me to a new and delicious recipe! Also, thank you to Sarah of A Taste of Home Cooking for all your hard work organizing the swaps!
