These are very good and were a hit with my family. I used paper muffin liners and sprayed the liners with nonstick spray, and the muffins did not stick to the liners at all. I used two large apples and that was plenty. The batter was thick which made it easy to deposit in the muffin cups with an ice cream scoop. Great recipe, low guilt, THANKS Rachow!

Hi, my name is Rachel and I love to cook! Zaar is my favorite site to look for recipes and I know I can always come to CC for advice.
I was born in Montreal but I have a Chinese and Italian background.
I graduated cullinary school in June '08. I cooked at a golf club until October and loved it. Now I'm working at a high end steakhouse.
I have a tattoo on the back of my neck of the Chinese symbols for strength. I'm a person who never gives up, never let's someone tell me I can't do something.
I'm a very fun, easy to get along with person. I'm a lil bit crazy too sometimes haha.
Favorite Saying: You have great potential, so live in it.
A quote which I really like from Chef #61010 : "Roll with the punches and keep going forward. Never give up."
