Have you seen the muffin man? Well, which way did he go? He just stole my apple pie muffins!
I don’t blame him though, they are absolutely delicious! I’ve been making this muffin recipe for well over 20 years now. This recipe is certainly tried and true!
They are so super simple to prepare too.

You had me with “apple pie.” These sound delicious. Thanks, too, for giving the equivalent to the self-rising flour. I seldom keep self-rising flour and, as a consequence, generally skip over recipes that call for it as an ingredient. I’m going to try this recipe over the weekend.
WOW! These sounds amazing…and I love your muffin pan! Coming over from Prairie Story Recipe Swap. Would love to have you check out my blog and join my carnival on Thursdays. And I currently have a Girl Scout Cookie giveaway going on. Have a great weekend.

Snow Day here in the east – woke up to an official total of a foot and a half. Yikes.
Morning tea and my laptop led me to this recipe (I always stop at Mrs. Happy Homemaker!).
Had all the ingredients on hand in my snowed in kitchen.
The kids are now munching on the yummy, yummiest muffins ever while also shoveling and plowing us out so we can rejoin civilization!
Will be sharing this recipe – it’s a keeper 🙂

How funny I just popped 2 jumbo muffin tins of these muffins in my oven – although your recipe sounds better….I always LOVE using self-riging flour in a recipe. Next time I will be using your recipe.

I just made these for breakfast and they came out great! Thanks for sharing! http://betelou.wordpress.com/
Was just writing down your recipe to make these today and realized you didn’t have the whole recipe in the recipe box at the bottom. Your missing your topping recipe. I scrolled to the top to get it, but someone else might not realize they need to do this so I thought I would give you a heads up so you can fix it. Looking forward to trying these today!
