Crisp, sweet apples are my favorite Fall flavor.

Why not celebrate the season with all the red deliciousness?

Candy Apples and Apple Juice, the perfect combination

Mini Candy Apple(sauce) Muffins...

Bowls of Candy Apple M&M's...

enjoyed with a refreshing glass of Mott's Apple Juice.

What could be better?

Mini Caramel Apple(sauce) Oatmeal Muffins are easy and delicious,

topped with M&M's and it is a treat you won't soon forget!

Mott's Applesauce and Apple Juice keep them so moist.

Once baked and topped with melted caramel, M&M's and an icing leaf 

(available in most craft stores), 

an ordinary muffin is transformed into a caramel apple chocolate sensation.
