LOW-CARB CINNAMON APPLE SPICE MUFFINS
So far this fall, I have been focusing on pumpkin spice for the treats I have developed. That doesn’t mean that apples are less dear to me than pumpkin. No way! Apples are one of my favorite things about this season!
I grew up in northern Pennsylvania where apples were an important crop. My family wasn’t in the apple business, but we had our share of apple trees. We had red delicious, yellow delicious, Rome, cortland and several other varieties.
Seemingly wild apple trees also grew on the property lines or the edge of the woods. We had no idea what varieties these apples were. Instead, we named them for their location–horse pasture apples, for example.
We used our apples in a variety of ways. My mother made loads of applesauce and apple butter to preserve them through the winter. She made apple pies, apple fritters, and apple dumplings.
