APPLE MUFFINS RECIPE
Any day that starts with these tender Apple Muffins is bound to be a good one. One of the best things about these muffins is their texture; one test kitchen professional said they "aren't so soft they will fall apart, but they are almost cake-like in their softness." Not only would these sweet, soft muffins be an easy grab-and-go breakfast, but you can also make a batch for afternoon coffee or tea with the girls or to welcome a new family to the neighborhood. This recipe makes 12 muffins, so depending on the occasion and how many visitors you have, you might need to make more. Although the recipe calls for Fuji, our test kitchen professionals agreed that any apple variety works. A tip from the test kitchen: Don't over-work these muffins-they only need mixing until it is just combined, which helps keep them super soft. Begin the fall season with these fresh Apple Muffins and a warm apple cider. Is there such thing as too many apples? We don't think so. It's time for fall, y'all.

SOUTHWESTERN SAVORY MUFFINS
When I was first married, I found a muffin recipe that called for bacon. I modified it through the years and came up with this recipe. It's become a favorite breakfast treat for my husband and me. He grew up in northern New Mexico and thinks most foods benefit from the addition of green chilies.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the muffins rise evenly and give them a tender crumb.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the muffins lighter and airier.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
