Apple Muffins with Sunflower Seeds

I was trying to make an easy yet nice to eat little muffin. I tried this apple muffin with sunflower seeds. I am not sure is the texture used to be like soggy type or should it be a dry texture?! Anyway, I will share the recipe because this is the last baked cake from my oven. After I had finished baking the muffins, my oven’s door was sliding down and one of the screws dropped out. I need to send it to the service centre and not sure when I can get back my lovely oven.

Apple Muffins

I have promised a friend to bake apple muffins. I was searching a good and easy recipe to prepare it. I try my luck with the recipe from a book called "Something Sweet". The muffin is just like the book title ~ sweet!  


As a conclusion, the taste is not so nice and I could still find the cinnamon "fragrant" in my mouth after I have eaten the muffin 5 minutes ago.
