Say Hello to these vegan apple crumb muffins! perfectly moist and topped with delicious crumble!
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving! And for me, that means lots of cooking going on in my kitchen. Food is such an important aspect of Thanksgiving, bringing people together to enjoy a delicious meal. Usually, my family cooks up loads of food and plenty of desserts like pies and cakes.
One thing I love about cooking and baking during Thanksgiving is all the delicious Fall seasonal produce available. Apples of course, are readily in season right now and make for some great baking!
