New York Apple Muffin

A lot of states have official state foods, but did you know New York has an official state Muffin?! Unsurprisingly, the apple muffin has been a NY classic since it was made the official muffin in 1987. This sweet treat couldn't be more fitting for a place commonly known as the “Big Apple”, but Manhattan’s famous nickname actually has nothing to do with the fruit itself. The Big Apple nickname originated from a newspaper column in the 1930’s to describe the thriving horse racing scene in NYC. Since then, apples are often associated with New York and inspired plenty of delicious recipes all over the state.
