Baked Apple Duffins
Oh my, these are so yummy! They are a cross between a doughnut and a muffin. I found the recipe on www.owlhaven.net. They turned out beautifully. My kids are already asking me to make them again.

Tanya, this recipe is amazing. I have been meaning to try it since you first posted it and finally did. I made the duffins for a party and they were gobbled up. Everyone loved them. I always get lots of compliments on your recipes (the colorful baked beans are popular too). I couldn’t find the oven temp here but found it on owlhaven.net–it’s 350. Thanks for the great recipes, Tanya!
