I tried these this morning and they were great. Very moist on the inside. I was able to make 12 small muffins since I don't own a large muffin tin. <br/><br/>They taste and smell almost like Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal. I modified the recipe a little and use Fiji Apples because that is what I had on hand. My muffins did have a slight after taste but I think this is due to the brand of Apple Butter I used and not the recipes fault.<br/><br/>I will be making these again.

Books and cooking are my passions...I love cookbooks by default. I will begin working on a Masters in English this coming fall...hopefully I'll still have time to cook! Someday I'd like to be able to publish my own cookbook from my family's recipes, but for now I'm just going to concentrate on getting my degree and becoming a better cook. I have an amazing boyfriend who, at 30, is just learning how to like vegetables and two rad, stripey cats.
