Apple Cinnamon Muffins

This time I tried Apple cinnamon muffin.while preparing it I realized that it is the most simple recipe with a pretty less preparation time. As the saying goes "An apple a day keeps a doctor away" brought that into this as well.In addition to above Cinnamon as we all know can be used in so many ways which includes using it as condiment and flavoring material.It is widely used as a spice as well with a  tendency to cure common cold.This turned out to be one of the best Muffin among all I baked. My kids usually stay away from sweets given their taste buds used to eat spicy food. But, to my surprise this time they tried  and liked it too probably the cinnamon effect especially the aroma when its getting baked..I am posting this recipe in BM#45 under the theme "cakes and muffins with fruits and vegetables"
