My grandma never made these muffins, but she could
have, relates John T. Ham, Jr., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"They're good, old-fashioned grandma quality. Serve
them any time of the year, but take along some for a
breakfast picnic. Or wait till a picnic draws close
and bring them out as an end-of-the-day treat." At
least four generations of John's clan have rated
Devil's Backbone State Park near Strawberry Point,
Iowa, their top picnic spot.

sugar, baking powder,
2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves.
Stir in apple and
walnuts.

flour to the

together the 1/2 cup
flour, the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

butter. Sprinkle over batter in muffin cups.
