WELCOME WELCOME!!! Thanks so much for joining us I am so excited to get school started and share our first post in the Perfect Tot School & Preschool A-Z series.
My goal is to teach my kids through fun games, crafts, and activities and share them with you :). Like any family we are always busy, so we fit school time in between visits to grandmas, trips to the store, and the normal adventures of being a family with growing kids running around.

Ms. Tiger loved playing this game! |
2. Mix in all the dry ingredients. The batter will be really crumbly.
4. Add the apples to the batter and mix in.
5. Use cupcake liners or spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill the cups full. Ms. Tiger loved mushing the thick batter into each cup.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
7. To make the top of the apple tree put coconut and green food coloring in a bag and shake the bag until the coconut is all green for the leaves. Then mix 3 tbs. sweetened condensed milk or frosting with green food coloring. This will be used to use to stick the coconut to the cupcake.
10. The apple tree muffins are really top heavy so I don’t recommend this final step until you are ready to eat. Unwrap the muffin from the cupcake wrapper and place it inside the ice cream cone.
