top of the muffin to you!

I got a muffin top pan a couple weeks ago and this past weekend I made my first batch of muffin tops... apple strudel... my official muffin taster (Meesh) said they were very good and I concur. 

Muffin Top Pan Review: It didn't blow my mind like I thought it would but I will try using it for another recipe and see if I like the outcome any better.
