Apple Cherry Spice Muffins

Last week I didn't really get the chance to post any recipes. I felt guilt. It was Sunday evening and I wanted to bake, so I grabbed some ingredients from the pantry and got to work. It had been a long day, a long week. It was time to greet the season. We took out decorations and placed pumpkin spice candles on our tables. That's when I realized I wanted to create a recipe using autumn spices. That's how I got inspired to make Apple Cherry Spice Muffins. I had a huge jar of Eden Foods Organic Apple Cherry Sauce in my refrigerator, and it was one of those ingredients I wanted to incorporate into the recipe. To be honest, I have never been a fan of applesauce, but the combination of apples and cherries was intriguing. Surprisingly, it added a nice touch to the recipe, making it unbelievably versatile. These muffins can be easily enjoyed as a quick snack, breakfast, or dessert by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The possibilities are endless...
