Spiced Rum Apple Crumb Muffins

Blue Chair Bay Spiced Rum Apple Crumb Muffins are filled with the warm flavors I am craving in Fall. Apples, cinnamon, and spices with a Spiced Rum glaze on a bakery style muffin! I served mine with a chilled Spiced Rum Cider, but the warm version of the cocktail is delightful as well. Just add Blue Chair Bay Spiced Rum to your favorite apple cider and garnish with a slice of apple, a sprig of fresh thyme and a cinnamon stick.
