Description
These soft Apple Muffins are made with an easy one bowl batter that only takes a few minutes to mix together. The muffins have a swirl of cinnamon sugar throughout the center and are topped with a buttery cinnamon sugar streusel. A drizzle of vanilla icing is the finishing touch on these muffins. Make your own muffin liners to make these look like you got them straight from the bakery
