Apple Oat Muffins

As you may know, I went apple picking on Sunday at the Countyline Orchard in Hobart, Indiana. To make apple muffins, I decided to modify this blueberry-oat muffin recipe. I also had some ground flax in the fridge, which I added for extra protein and fiber. It changed the color of the muffins to a dusty brown that I didn't much care for, so I added a sprinkle of sugar on top. These were a big hit at work.
