These muffins are moist and warmly spiced, like a comforting hug in every bite
The juicy apple pieces combined with the crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping became an instant favorite in my household

Be careful not to overmix the batter — a few lumps ensure tender muffins rather than tough ones
Folding in the apples last keeps their texture delightful — they shouldn't get mushy or overly blended
