This Apple - Chocolate Chip Muffin is a straightforward recipe that can be made in about 30 minutes. The addition of chocolate makes these muffins a great snack for the kids.

This is one more of my attempts to bake with apples. Instead of making the usual Apple pie, I wanted something to make my boys happy. When I was talking to one of my dear friends, she mentioned that she has a delicious recipe for Apple cake.

She mailed the recipe to me right away and here I am a couple of weeks later, I made her recipe and am happy with it. Thanks, Marybeth for the awesome recipe.

I made half the muffins with just the apples and to the other half, I added the chocolate chips, only to please my dear husband. It was a job well accomplished. He loved the muffins with the chocolate chips. This Apple-Chocolate Chip muffin recipe also called for nuts, which I did not add.
