Some of you know that I’ve been trying to do Apple A Day project since November 1st. Sorry I’m not as consistent as I was in the beginning with posting new recipes and photos. Life is just really busy right now, with Christmas approaching faster than I wish.
I still haven’t made one of my favorite Apple Strudel but I’ll get there I promise.
Today I will share with you a recipe that was shared by my friend Asya. It is her mom’s (Barbara) recipe and traditionally they would make these together on Sunday Mornings.
You know some of my favorite memories are situated in the kitchen or around kitchen and food.
Precious memories that last a lifetime.
I just wanted to thank you Asya for sharing those sweet memories with us all.

These muffins are mixer free, so super fast put together, but wait for them to bake…they are so moist and scrumptious. I’ve been eating them for a few days now. I love the topping so much. First I though hm, there is not much sugar in the batter, but it all pays off at the end, as topping is sweet and batter is not so sweet, so 2 when combined you get a perfect bite. I used almonds for the topping and they looked so pretty too and crunchy.
