A close-up of golden-brown apple cinnamon muffins arranged on a rustic wooden platter, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.

Soft natural lighting highlights their moist texture and warm tones, with a few muffins slightly cut open to show the tender crumb inside. A cinnamon stick and fresh apple slices artfully placed nearby add a cozy, inviting feel.
