DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk. Mix the creamed ingredients into the flour mixture until evenly moist. Fold in the apples. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
Mix the 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the tops of the muffin batter.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 1 to 2 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.

I used 2 medium red delicious apples(all I had on hand) Took the apples unpeeled and half a lemon rind and threw it into my food processor. Very easy to whip up. I like the skin left on the apples for bits of color(and added fiber) I used half cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup a-p flour. I only had buttermilk so used that in lieu of regular milk. Added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg to the batter and this complimented the other flavors nicely. These are not very sweet so sugar/cinnamon mixture on top was a plus. I also added tsp. vanilla. These were super moist with a fluffy light texture even with using the w.wheat flour. They almost had a 'tutti-frutti' flavor. Very nice muffin.

Yum! Next time I will be sure to cover the entire muffins with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Be careful though, I ended putting apples on some of the bottoms of the muffins and the bottoms fell off. I had my camera near by and I thought it was fun to take a picture of them and I posted the picture :0)

I'm not sure why but I totally didn't like these. My boyfriend did though. The cinnamon scorched on top (not surprising for 15 min at 425). They took an extra 5 min to bake, but I think I was just expecting it to taste differently. The apples, lemon and cinnamon combined into a weird flavor.

These are really nice, moist, and flavorful muffins. I am generally not one to hack these recipes to death when I try them, but I did make a few changes this time (some out of necessity and some out of preference). I didn't have any lemons on hand, so instead of using the zest and juice of a lemon, I added a tsp of Penzey's lemon extract, which is nice and strong and imparted a nice natural-tasting lemon flavor. I diced the apples very, very finely because if my 2-year old finds chunks of anything in her muffins, she spits them out. (I would love to know if anyone has made this with grated apples, by the way!) 10 T of butter seemed like a lot to me, so I used 6 T of butter and 4 T. of natural style applesauce; this was just enough butter to keep the muffins rich and moist. I added about a half tsp of cinnamon to the batter and skipped the cinnamon/sugar on top. These are moist, flavorful, not-too-dense and not-too-light, and I agree with another reviewer in saying kind of tutti-fruitti in flavor. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for a great muffin recipe!

These muffins are wonderful. I added more apple, as my family loves them. They are tender and wonderful hot, right out of the oven. I will definately make these again.

Pretty nice muffin. I didn't have butter so used a mix of margarine and oil. I added ground flax seeds and wheat germ, as I do with all muffins, and substituted some of the white flour with pastry whole wheat. Also, I added some vanilla, and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter in addition to sprinkling on top.

What a great recipe! I have to admit I threw in a little more lemon juice, sugar, added some apple juice (and less milk), some walnuts, and made a bread out of it. Deliciously moist and tasty. Yes, the cinnamon sugar topping is the best!
