I fnd these amaretto apple  muffins in My recipes and  really are delicious I love especially the glaze on the top.

 

The amaretto adds an even more distinct almond  flavor but if you dont have it, you can use almond extract instead.

Muffins con manzana y amaretto

 

 

 

 

 

 Estos muffins me encantaron porque son como diferentes por el amaretto y el glacé quedan super buenos y como llevan manzanas se conservan húmedos.
Los adapté de una receta de My recipes un sitio americano en que ya he  probado recetas.
