On a recent trip to the apple orchard near my home located in Tennessee, we recently purchased 3 bushels of apples. Pippin, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious. The Red Delicious was not our favorite and they have been dried and apple sauce has been made from them but the Granny Smith, a nice tart and crisp apple has been put into pies and dried for later consumption. The Pippins have been a great all round apple. I have used this for just good ole eating along with cooking and pie making, and drying. This morning I am making some apple muffins. This recipe was taken from an old Better Homes and Garden cook book (can by that I mean real old) But that seems to be where I like to get my recipes. I like the older versions. So without further ado....
Melt about 1/4 cup butter and dip the tops of the muffins in them and then roll the tops in sugar.
