Apple Cinnamon Muddy Buddies

 

It's time for some more muddy buddy treats!  I love these little things, probably too much!  Like, they are so yummy to munch on that I eat too many most of the time.  And I may or may not eat so many that my tummy aches a little bit....(Who me?!)  This is a Fall variation.  It was either Apple or Pumpkin & I went with Apple this time, but don't be surprised if you see a Pumpkin variation later on down the road.  These are a great little after school snack for my kids to munch on while I cook dinner, but that's like eating dessert before dinner, so I guess that makes me a bad mom... or a cool mom!  Haha.  Enjoy!
