I went apple picking with some friends today and we decided we needed the large 20 lb bag to fill with apples and we would split it between 3 of us. This is an absurd amount of apples. Then we acquired another bag so now we have 2 large bags (potentially 40 lbs) to fill with apples. Entirely unnecessary. And yet... SO FUN! I highly recommend apple picking if you haven't been in a few years.
Also, if you don't have one, you should probably invest in an apple slicer/corer/peeler. They are about $15 - $20 and you can buy one at a store like Bed, Bath and Beyond. I'm guessing this goes in the Beyond section of the store. Yes, I went there. :)
Apple strudel muffins was a recipe I found last year when I went apple picking and found myself in the same situation. These were a special request to make again! This is a simple muffin recipe found online.
Some things to note: this is a thick cake type batter, it won't rise very much. We also reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup from 1 cup.
