I love how you tie the ingredients into their meaning. I couldn't find Cassia, so I made it without, it had an interesting flavor, not too sweet. I couldn't believe what the little bit of apple jelly on the top of the muffin did for it - that is such a great trick! I will be using it again. Thanks also for the warning, it was a very thick batter and I would have been worried without your comment. Made these for a work and left one at home to photograph, if it's still there when I do get home I'll add a picture.<br/>Thanks Sugar Witch for a good addition to our snack day at work! Made for PAC 2012
