Apple Spice Muffins

Submitted by queenbeatrice

"I like this muffin recipe as it is not overly sweet. The house smells wonderful as these are baking!! I have noticed in mikekey's review that he only needed half an apple to equal 3/4 cups. I use an apple and not quite a half when I make this, but I shred the apple, so I have changed this in the ingredients list."

These are easy to put together and taste quite good, and not too sweet. I would personally add a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg. Also, 3/4 cup apple was about 1/2 half of a Granny Smith, and I would double that and add the whole chopped apple for a little more moistness and apple flavor. And yes, they do make the house smell good :)
