Apple Cinnamon Cricket Muffins

Eating seasonably is key to sustainability and keeping your foods as nutrient dense as possible. Now is the time of year where the apples around our farm are perfectly ripe and ready to be made into cider, applesauce or CRICKET MUFFINS! This recipe was delicious, the apple chunks made it amazing especially when paired with a cup of warm almond milk or coffee!
