  1. What a yummy fall treat! And as a vintage loving girl, I don’t know how I’ve missed your blog, but I’m following along now.

  2. What a fun idea! I love how you have sticks in the muffins as if they were apples–so cute. Plus, these scream ‘fall!’, which may be my favorite season (spring is a contender, too).
