Apple butter oatmeal muffins

Plate of baked apple butter oatmeal muffins.

It's March! So what am I doing posting an apple recipe?!? Those are for fall, right? Well, for me, usually they are.... but this recipe is more of a "use it or lose it" recipe. I canned more apple butter than we can eat! I even gave a bunch away, but a few jars were still lingering on my basement shelf quickly approaching the time when they'd probably need to be tossed. I really hate food waste, especially after working so hard to make and can something, so apple butter muffins are here! These muffins are a twist on my applesauce oatmeal bread and they turned out delicious -- very moist and full of yummy spices. Plus, they are even better split open with more apple butter spread on top, so perhaps we will use up all that's left before these are gone. This recipe will make one dozen muffins and will fill your home with a wonderful aroma while they are baking.

The frigid winter weather had settled upon us here in western New York, and then we have had a streak of 40 degrees days with rain. It's so weird to go outside in January and not have everything be a blanket of white. I'm not sure how I feel about it.... I don't think I like it though. One thing that I do like though --- SOUP! I think my readers know that I love soup. I also love slow cooker recipes. 

It's so nice to be able to throw your food in it in the morning and then have your dinner finished, or almost finished when it's time to eat. This soup is delicious, hearty, and very flavorful. It's full of Tex-Mex food flavors, which we really enjoy in our house. 

This recipe will serve about four people. A side of corn tortilla chips is highly encouraged!
