Made these last night. Very Fall like! Smelled good while cooking. My friend loved them. She asked me to make her a batch for Thanksgiving. I used two Granny Smith apples and two Fuji apples. Sprinkled some nutmeg and used half the amount of raisins. Used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Baked for only 20 minutes. Got 12 regular size muffins and 6 bite size ones. I also used Granny Smith apple sauce in place of the oil.

Wow! These are awesome! I was looking for an apple recipe, but was too lazy to grate the apples lol, so this was perfect. It was the strangest batter I've seen for muffins since it looked all apple, but they turned out great. Made tiny adjustments for personal preference: used gala apples, 1/2c raisons, 1/2c walnuts and increased the cinnamon. Look forward to making these again! :o)

I really enjoyed these muffins. I even replaced half the flour with whole wheat flour and they still turned out very moist and delicious. They were chocked full of fruit and nuts. Great recipe!

It’s actually from Gourmet Magazine September 1987... One of my favourite recipes. So healthy, I cut the sugar in half...
