Yummy muffins. I was attracted to this recipe because it was lighter in fat and sugar than most of the other recipes I looked at. I used more apple than suggested since I was trying to use up some apples that were too tart. I also added a bit of splenda to the apples since they were so tart and a bit extra cinnamon just because. I gave the top a small sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking. Very nice recipe, thanks for posting.
