Muffins are the perfect little treat and I love how versatile they are.  This recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s newest cookbook 101 Farmhouse Favorites  is one that’s streusel topped, filled with apple butter and oh so delicious!  In this new cookbook you can choose from Break of Day Breakfasts, Garden-Fresh Soups & Salads, Family Dinner Favorites, Blue-Ribbon Desserts and Classic Country Canning.  What I love about this book is that every recipe has a big, beautiful picture.  Once I saw the Sweet Apple Butter Muffins I couldn’t wait to make them.  They’re quick, easy and the perfect little treat for the kids to grab on their way out the door!
