It’s time for the fall scents to fight to the death.
Why?
Why not?
The worthy opponent: 
The precarious challenger: Apple Walnut Muffins
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup whole grain spelt flour
- 1 tblsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tblsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 3 tblsp oats
- chopped walnuts
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cup chopped apples (skin off)
- 1/3 cup apple sauce
- 1 tblsp vanilla
- 1 tblsp apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 355 degrees. Mix wet and dry ingredients separately then combine. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Adapted from this recipe (which I fully intend on trying too!)
These muffins are a winner in the scent department by far. They smell so spicy and sweet. 
As for taste? 
A+. These are really warm, spicy, comforting, and the apple pieces are not overly gooey so the muffin maintains a really good texture. I spread a little bit of almond butter on it for breakfast and it was delicious. I want to put some kind of a topping on these, or perhaps make them with a crumbly topping next time.

Arghhhh. I hope I do well! Thanks for all the well-wishing. Tweet you all after!
