You can also use tart apples in these light-as-air muffins. The parchment paper cups are very easy but make them look wonderful and special enough for a party! Try serving them warm with some whipped cream cheese.

FRESH PEAR-ALMOND MUFFINS

Fresh Pear-Almond Muffins image

I came up with this recipe in an attempt to use up some pears before they went bad. I really like what I came up with mainly because it's not super complicated and there aren't any other competing flavors with the pears. The other ingredients are delicate and allow the pears to stand out. With all that being said, please note that these measurements are approximations... Enjoy!
