These hearty, sweet, and delicious muffins are great for breakfast or dessert. Seriously, this delectable apple treat is the perfect choice at any meal, and you'll find yourself reaching for one at all times of the day. They couldn't be easier to make, and you only need half an hour to get them on the table. To help lower the calories, this recipe utilizes two types of flour, all-purpose and whole-wheat, as well as fat-free skim milk and fat-free Greek yogurt. They nicely complement the Granny Smith apple, apple pie spice seasoning mix, and honey. Also, our reduced-fat cream cheese creates a delectable frosting for an already marvelous muffin.
