I made these muffins and they are excellent! Everyone loved them. The only modification I made was to use 1 apple processed through the blender in lieu of apple sauce, since I did not t have applesauce handy when I started. I also sprinkled some chopped walnuts on the top and a little turbinado sugar for sparkle. I'll be making ore than a dozen next time.

These were way more then good... I have been trying different recipes for muffins and this was by far the best. My daughter even asked for the recipe which she seldom does. I followed the directions exactly.. my apples must have been small because it took two for 1 1/2 cups. I loved having them in chunks instead of just applesauce. I filled the muffin tins to the top and there was just enough for 12. Great recipe.. thanks
