Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I miss the apple muffins I had in the Marriot Hotel months ago, it's an unforgetable taste I've ever had. So, I like to try to make it myself. I baked a batch of this apple cinnamon muffins using a jar of leftover apple sauce bought from the Cold Storage. Apple sauce and cinnamon is the key ingredients for this muffins. It really gives a fantastic aroma for the muffins.

Then I like to have another experiment on freezing the muffins. What I did is cling wrap a few muffins after it completely cool down and kept in an airtight container then tuck it into the freezer while it's still fresh. After a few days, I reheat it at 120'C preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes. It's unimaginable that the muffins keep so fresh, fluffy and tasty. This is really a good idea for me to make some extra muffins next time and have it anytime whenever I feel hungry.
