Apple Walnut Banana Muffins

These muffins... wow. Just wow. They have a strong resemblance to Marry Poppins- Practically Perfect in Every Way.
I whipped these muffins up early Sunday Morning before church. I brought these muffins to a small lunch gathering through my foreign exchange student's program. They were immediately descended upon by both kinds and adults. Thankfully there were three left over when we were ready to go. Using the excuse of needing to photograph the muffins for my blog, I eagerly brought the remains home with me in a doggy bag.
Okay, so maybe I just wanted the left overs. That's how good these were.
They perfectly represent fall with favors of apple and crunchy walnut and get me anticipated for next weeks haunted house!
