These were very good! The batter was a bit dry, but that might be because my applesauce was homemade and not very liquidy. I added some apple juice and that did the trick! I was pleasantly surprised at how moist and yummy these are; they aren't the dense nuggets that "healthy" muffins can be. You can't beat the nutritionals, either. I will keep this one, and I'm SO tempted to add nuts next time...
