APPLE & BLACKBERRY MUFFINS

 So fall is officially upon us, and it is starting to get cold. But this doesn't mean the end of the world because when there is fall there is a whole load of new fruits and vegetable coming into season. I think fall is my favorite season for baking so today I decided to incorporate two of my favorite fruits in a muffin that I can freeze and take to university next week with me.
