A few weeks ago I made these muffins, then these. So I had the muffin itch again, I tend to get like that with baking. And I had a jar of dulce de leche starring at me so dulce de leche apple muffins were born. Moist, chock full of apples, swirled dulce de leche in the batter and a dulce de leche glaze? What more can you ask for for breakfast? Not much in my book. Okay maybe chocolate 🙂
Now as I am off to Newport Beach for the day, I really wish I had a few of these muffins for breakfast. Or maybe my bikini is happy. Beach season is here and with a cruise around the Mediterranean in a few months I best stop eating so many dulce de leche muffins for breakfast. Oh the horror.

A cruise sounds like such a nice summer vacation! Enjoy! These muffins look great! Didn't you say you aren't typically a muffin person? You sure make the best looking and sounding muffins for not a muffin person 🙂
Elizabeth says
