This Apple - Chocolate Chip Muffin is a very simple recipe that can be made in about 30 minutes. The addition of chocolate makes these muffins a great snack for the kids.
This is one more of my attempts to bake with apples. Instead of making the usual Apple pie, I wanted to make something that would make my boys happy. When I was talking to one of my dear friends, she mentioned that she has a very good recipe for Apple cake.
She mailed the recipe to me right away and here I am a couple of weeks later, made her recipe and awfully happy with it. Thanks, Marybeth for the awesome recipe.
I made half the muffins with just the apples and to the other half, I added the chocolate chips, only to please my dear husband. It was a job well accomplished. He loved the muffins with the chocolate chips. This Apple - Chocolate Chip muffin recipe also called for nuts, which I did not add.

Way too much salt.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
Christina, the recipe has 1/2 teaspoon of salt and that is perfect. You could always skip the salt or reduce it.
