Apple, Raisin and Cinnamon Muffins

Apparently today is Blue Monday - the most depressing day of the year. It also happens to be the day before my birthday and as this year I am nudging ever closer to the big 30, I do happen to be feeling a little 'blue'. I needed some baking therapy and these apple muffins were whipped up to alleviate my mood. They are not overly sweet, which was intentional as I wanted to be able to toast them to serve with some sharp cheddar (as well as eating as they are) for tomorrows 'birthday' lunch, if there are any left!

    They sound delicious - I love slightly sweet biscuits with cheese so I'd say these will be perfect.

    Happy Birthday in advance - under 30 - you are but a child!!!!!
