Apple Walnut Muffins

We love muffins at our house and I make a batch every two weeks or so. Nothing better for a quick snack or for breakfast with yogurt. This time of year there is so much wonderful fruit available and I had some great apples on hand so I decided to make a muffin using one of my favorite fruits. I replaced the canola oil in the recipe with applesauce to make it healthier. They are just as tasty and moist using the applesauce. The smell of the apples and cinnamon baking is just heavenly.
