I have never known anyone who did not absolutely love these muffins. The cool thing about them, and what my mother liked so much with a large family to feed, is that you can use any type of apple and it makes no difference – they will still be just as good. You can also use those apples that are starting to get a little soft and running out of their shelf life. They work great in here and no one will ever know.
