Caramel Apple Muffins

Fall is just around the corner, or so I am told. You can't tell here in Florida where it stays hot until December.  But school is starting tomorrow so I am breaking out a fall recipe.  I can pretend I live somewhere else, where the nights are starting to get cooler and there is a briskness in the air.  A wonderful place where the leaves will change to gorgeous hues of of red and gold. Someplace, I can go for hay rides and pick apples off of trees. Someplace. . . . Oh Sorry I got lost in my fantasy for a little bit. You can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can't the Jersey out of the girl.

This is very simple recipe that turns a favorite fall treat, caramel apples, into a suitable breakfast option. My family loves these muffins and asks for them often.  I hope you enjoy them too.  After you're done checking out the recipe, why don't you leave me some love and tell me what fall treat you are most looking forward to.
