So I made these today and had to share because they are AWESOME!! and sharing is the right thing to do.

I would normally just link you to the recipe I found, but all the reviewers who gave it a 5 star rating had made several significant changes, and if you don't read the reviews, you won't know what changes to make. So I'm just going to make it easier for everyone and post the recipe WITH the changes that make it the best apple pie muffin recipe ever.
