The recipe instructions mention adding milk, but milk is not a listed ingredient. I'm sure my muffins would have turned out better if I'd known how much milk should be used for this recipe! [Editor's Note: We contacted the author and added the "1 cup milk" as a result of this review. Thanks!]

I used Cortland apples and left them rather chunky. What a terrific recipe! Will put them out for the construction crew replacing my windows tomorrow. They will love them!
