These were pretty good, though I would probably double the apple next time for a moister muffin. Great flavour combination!

Absolutely delicioussss! Loved these savory, slightly sweet muffins. I used the sharp cheddar cheese with the parmesan and topped them with a milder cheddar cheese. I will keep this recipe for sure in my favorites! Thanks alot for sharing.
