These yummy spicy apple muffins will be a hit with young and older alike!

Muffins are such a warm and welcome treat.

These are rich with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, and moist with raisins and apple chunks.

You can adjust the amount of sugar down a bit if you like or replace part or all with a product like Splenda for a low sugar or sugar free muffin.

Any way you make them this easy muffin recipe is a delicious and healthy treat.

As usual with muffins, don't beat the batter or over mix it.

Muffins come out lighter and fluffier if you just mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Beating the batter will make it tougher.
