RECIPE: Apple Strudel Muffins

Yum, yum, yum! That's all I have to say about this recipe!

Well, actually I have a little more to say about it. I made these little gems today and I must tell you they are so delicious right out of the oven they will have you begging for more. They melt in your mouth and cause your husband to kiss you! The kissing comes after your hubby has eaten the muffin, not while you are eating your muffin.

Well, actually, Dan the Man hasn't had one yet, but I am sure that as soon as he has one, he'll want to kiss me and take me out to a romantic dinner and dancing afterward.

A Country Chicken Girl can dream, can't she?

I was dreaming about Spring when I took the picture.
Notice the adorable little flower plate?
So cute and Spring like!
