Woot!! More apple goodness!!\u00a0 As I said in the last post, it’s Autumn, and apples are everywhere, especially here in New York.\u00a0 Any market, be it a super-market, a small local market, or the farmers markets are full of dozens of different kinds of apples, everything from Gala to Jonathan and Golden Delicious ..and everything inbetween.<\/p>\n

With the abundance of apples, I went through all my recipes, and though I will post some of my own as the season progresses, I found this recipe — The Official New York State Apple Muffin — in the files.\u00a0 The subheading states: “The apple muffin was adopted as the State muffin in 1987 as a result of the efforts of elementary students throughout New York State.”<\/em> I actually recall making this recipe with my son when he was in 3rd grade, at the school with his classmates.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a good recipe, and as muffin recipes go, simple to do.<\/p>\n

I am making these tomorrow, again with my son — he’s in 9th grade now — and I know we’ll have fun making them, and even more fun eating them.\u00a0 Knowing him, these won’t last too long, either ;)<\/p>\n
