Well, this isn't really an apple cinnamon recipe but it's got both the ingredients and it's really yummie and healthy!!

1.5 cups flour (I used Spelt)
1 cup flax meal
1 cup Oat bran
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2.5 tsp cinnamon
2 medium apples, peeled and shredded
2 medium carrots, shredded
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup soy or rice milk
2 eggs, beaten (or egg replacer)
1 tsp vanilla

mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet in a seperate bowl. Stir wet into dry. Mix in nuts and raisins.
Fill oiled muffin cups 3/4 full. bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Makes 16 medium sized muffins.

notes and thought are not mine
Sweet Potato/Apple muffins
3 c all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 sweet potatoes (looked like approx 2 cups-I didn't measure)
1 golden delicious apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup oil

topping:
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
(note: I didn't use all, dumped rest in with bananna muffins and adjusted
sugar in it)

Sitr flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices until well combined (good
job for preschooler). In a separate bowl, beat egg, milk, sweet potato,
apple, and salad oil. Pour into dry mixture. Stir until just mixed. Fill
lightly greased muffin cups 2/3 full. Mix sugar and cinnamon(another good
kid job); sprinkle on muffins. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven 20-25
min. makes 20-24 muffins.

Makes the house smell wonderful!

(note: I was a little heavy handed with the spices since this original
recipe used canned pumpkin - basically used heaping--also ended up with
extra cloves due to helpers - still tasted fine)

I highly recommended looking up the old posting. Her basic recipe was easy
and had a bunch of variations. Some could be used for dinner too.
