I thought these were only so-so. I made half the prescribed way in the recipe. The other half I inserted a wee bit of apple-cinnamon butter in the middles. The first (normal) batch came out very plain tasting, and almost dry. The second batch was better with the addition of the apple butter. These may just taste better the next day. UPDATE: I retract my initial impression of these muffins. After baking, I let them cool a bit, then placed them in sandwich bags. When I decided to give them a shot a couple of days later, they were still very moist when I pulled them out. The flavor VASTLY improved, the cinnamon-apple flavor had permeated througout, and it is all together a very yummy muffin. When you make these, wait at least a day before eating! -
Really, really good! I also omitted the oat topping, used applesauce for the margarine, added 1/2 cup Splenda & used 1 1/2 cups diced apples. I omitted the walnutes & raisins. I also used 2 tsp cinnamon. Baked up nice & moist-tasted great. Thanks so much! -
I made a couple changes.I increased the cinnamon to 2 tsp. and used egg beaters instead of egg white. I used 1-1/2 tsp, nutmeg and I didn't sprinkle with oats. I tried 3 with paper liners and I agree, not good. My DD thought they weren't sweet enough but I found them fine. I will probably make again.

I'm a "newbee" to this site, but not to cooking. I love great food and to share recipes and this site is great! I don't know where the information of a "fry cook" came from, but I would consider myself anything else but that :)
A NYC girl originally, lived in London and Canada where I am now. Met lots of interesting people along life's way who taught me a great deal and enriched my life with their knowledge of cooking.
With my children now adults, the family has doubled in size and my commitment to making memories to pass down to another generation inspires me to cooking.
I find cooking a creative expression of one's personality and never tire of new challenges in the kitchen.
