Sweet Apple Spice Muffins image

Light and fluffy muffins with a hint of vanilla and a delightful spiced flavor. I like to call them my Sweetheart Muffins, great for Valentine's Day breakfast. I'm a Wiccan and like to know the properties of my food. Apples are for love, cinnamon for luck, cardamom for wealth, and cassia for health. I wish you magickal fun in baking and a wealth of love, luck,and good health!
