Apple Cinnamon Muffins

We always have a big bowl of apples on our kitchen counter for everyone to grab a quick and healthy snack.  Unfortunately, the kids are sometimes rough trying to find their favorite apple so they can bruise the rest in their search.  So I had these perfectly good apples with some dents and bruises sitting there being neglected.  I cut the bruised bits off and decided to throw them into these very quick and easy Apple Cinnamon Muffins.  My husband actually "hooted" how good they were when he tried them.  He especially loved the cinnamon sugar topping that gave them a snickerdoodle taste.
