Apple Cinnamon Muffins

In loving memory of Patryk Alexander his favorite recipe Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Early one morning, my son Patryk Alexander abruptly came running up to me (jumping excitedly) handing me a piece of paper. Staring at this piece of paper I felt perplexed and surprised all at once. My son knew how to use the printer at barley three years old, this was my intelligent son Patryk who figured everything out all on his own. Not only did he navigate the computer better than most his age, he began using the printer without hesitation (self taught). Patryk came rushing over to me, jumping happily and blurted loudly that we were going to make these Apple Cinnamon Muffins. I truly did not know how deeply I would hold on to this memory of making muffins with my son.

This apple cinnamon muffins recipe is adapted from Nick Jr.’s web site where my son loved to play. He did not really care for food much so this was the perfect set up to get him to try something new to eat. Well, Patryk not only liked, but he loved making them more than anything. It was a special memory for me, I hold on to these dear memories as tightly as possible.  In those moments where I was cooking with my son we didn’t think about what doctors visits we would have that week or what level of pain he was feeling that day. I was just a mom, he was just my son and we were simply making muffins. These muffins are simple just like this memory….simple and perfect!

Get started creating memories with your little ones by baking this perfected recipe for scrumptious Apple Cinnamon Muffins.

My son Maxwell on the other hand….I can not keep food out of his mouth. The joy and excitement on his face before mealtime is quite funny. It seems as though each meal time is his birthday or a special celebration. Sometimes while desperate to snap him out of a tantrum I’ll say “I think its snack time” and sure enough he jumps up from whatever screaming fit and runs to his highchair giggling in excitement 🙂 I know I will not always be able to use this tactic, but for now it works. Years later making these Apple Cinnamon Muffins with my son Maxwell fills me with joy. I will continue to use this recipe as a gate way to tell beautiful stories of Maxwell’s brother Patryk. Now holding on tightly to these new memories of just my son and myself cooking, sharing memories of someone we love!

Highly encouraging you to pick a favorite recipe and make it your special family recipe. Give it a special name or make it at certain times of the year. This is a very easy way to show love and build memories with your kiddos. Hopefully, one day your babies will then pass on the family recipe and memories to there special little ones.

Time disappears so quickly, but memories last a lifetime!

My favorite way to enjoy these Apple Cinnamon Muffins is to slice it in half and spread fresh whipped butter on each side!
