Recipe for Cooking ~ Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Muffins With Crumble Topping

I am still experimenting with  zucchini muffin recipes, with all the zucchini from our garden.  I had some Hershey’s cinnamon chips in the freezer but had never used them before.  So I wanted to try and use them in a muffin recipe. So I created this one last week and it was a HUGE hit with my family.  The crumble topping made them look kind of strange, but tasted amazing!
