So, I have to go back in time a bit to tell this story. Mothers' Day to be precise. Some lovely anonymous person dropped off two huge boxes of apples in front of our church (and other local churches as well) along with some small cardboard containers and a note for moms to help themselves. Amazing, I think. Anyways, due to the fact of being the pastor's wife and that these apples were at both churches we attended that day, I came home with ALOT of apples. Golden Delicious and Ambrosia! Well that day I made apple crisp (probably along with every other mom who goes to church in the area) for my family for dessert. Then we took a vacation. When we got home I realized I had more apples than we could eat before they were done for and I don't waste food! So I cut up as many apples as would fit in my crockpot (didn't peel them, too much work) added some water and honey and a little sugar and some cinnamon to make it smell good and eight beautiful hours later I had some yummy chunky applesauce (yes that is my recipe, pretty specific, eh?). I let it cool, put it in jars and stuck them in the freezer (Jacob dropped one jar full of applesauce on the ground in the basement on the way to the freezer... Yea for a mess on the only carpet in the whole house). I think it made about 6 jars. So, today I realized I had stuck a jar in the fridge and figured it has been there a week, I better use it up. And this recipe was what I made. These muffins are so soft and yummy and just the right amount of spice. Enjoy!
