Muffins are yummy preparations that bear resemblance to cupcakes. They are a popular breakfast item and flavors can vary from sweet to savory depending upon individual choices. American-style muffins are characterized by a peculiar shape – their lower half being cylindrical and upper half being conical. However, the English muffin is disc shaped with a diameter of about 8 cm. Coffeehouses are an ideal place to enjoy a muffin with a freshly brewed cup of your favorite coffee. 
Making muffins is simple and easy. Just follow the following recipe to bake your own scrumptious apple-cinnamon muffins at home.
