These muffins were devoured by my kids. I added a little vanilla, though, and they were just perfect.

The muffins are realy good made with the original recipie. Still I made some minor changes to adapt it to the special diet needs of my family: Instead of: -2 cups of sugar, I used 0.5 of a cup of brown sugar -2 cups of greated apples I made I cut 2 apples into small cubes (aprox 4 cups) - instead of all purose flower I used whole wheat spelt flower I made regular size muffins and baked them for 30min.

Paul, you know how busy we can be at Easter Time! Well, I needed to bake for our church's Easter Breakfast! With shopping for the breakfast, setting up the church for Easter Sunday worship, shopping for my own families Easter Sunday, who had time to bake? Thank goodness for your easy and quick recipe for the mini muffins! I know all the children will just love them come Easter Sunday Morning! Thank you so much! I love your show! I love your humor and ease at which you and sometimes your sons cook and it just brings a smile to my face! Thank you for such a fun and creative show! I have many of your recipes!

I made these muffins last night for breakfast this morning. Warmed them and loved them. I made them full size (1/4 cup in each cup) and left them in for 25 minutes. Also replace the raisins with dried cherries and the walnuts with pecans as thats what I had on hand.

Love this recipe....being diabetic and watching my weight I did some substitutions and the muffins actually came out better. I subed the water with apple cider and also cut up one apple in small chunks to add to the shredded apple. I subed 1 stick of the 2 sticks of butter with 1/2 cup of applesauce. In place of the sugar I used Splenda. Used 1 cup of dried cranberries and 1 cup raisins. For all the flour I used 1 and 1/2 cup white flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 cup wheat bran. I also added 3/4 cup of shredded coconut along with the nuts. Made larger muffins and cooked for 20 minutes....makes 17 wonder moist muffins.

These muffins are awesome! So much flavor in each on and easy to make. My kids loved them and wanted them everyday after school for a snack for a straight week which in my book is pretty impressive. Definitely try this recipe. Paula rocks!




Made as a quick bread!

Love love love this recipe! I did one and a half times the recipe, as I peeled too many apples. I baked it in three 8" loaf pans, 20 minutes at 400, then 15 minutes at 350. The whole house smells AMAZING! Thank goodness for snow in WNY -- I cooled the apple mixture by setting the pan outside in the snow. So good! I can't wait to share the bread with my coworkers!




easy and awesome

These are fantastic! My husband loved them. I made regular size muffins insteaad of mini muffins and simply increased the bake time to 20 minutes (from the recipes stated 15 minutes). I also used splenda instead of regular sugar and they are still fantastic. The mix seems dry at first when you add the apple mixture to the flour, but it bakes up moist and wonderful! Thanks, Paula, for another GREAT recipe!!

I saw Paula make these recently on tv and decided to try them. They are wonderful. My kids really liked them and a great way to send them to school in the morning. I made them in a regular sized cupcake pan and baked them for @24 minutes. The whole house smelled great.




Use the butter

When I made these I was trying to cut back on 1/2 the butter for obvious reasons. Mine weren't quite as moist as the other reviews stated. I will definately use the 2 sticks of butter next time. Very yummy!

These were the best and easiest muffins I have ever made. My daughter wanted to sell something to snack on at our community garage sale and these were a hit. Glad we kept some back for ourselves because they are delicious. I used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 wheat flour and they were delicious (and a little more nutrious). Plus, with no eggs there is no fear in eating the batter!




Best ever

These muffins are the best! Very moist and easy to make. I made them regular size instead of mini and baked them for about 20 mins. Came out perfect. I definitely would make them again. Thanks Paula.

I used this batter to make normal size muffins. I used the same temperature but I put them on the top rack in the oven for 20 minutes. They came out great. They are so moist, it is delicious. I also substituted half of the all purpose flour with full grain flour to make them more hearty. It worked fine.




quick, easy AND YUMMY

I made the muffins one Sunday afternoon and they are a hit in my house. I sent a few to my sister,and she also loved them. The only thing is, they are sooo moist that they tend to fall apart!!!! Who wouldn't mind that? The Gatewood Family




Adjust cooking time and temperature for larger muffins

On the show, Paula said to adjust the cooking time for larger muffins but I think the temperature also needs to be adjusted. I baked mine at 350 but they wouldn't cook through and when they did finally cook through (after about 45 minutes) the tops were a little burned. (Note I also moved them from the top rack to the bottom rack). Next time, I think I will just make the mini muffins or bake larger muffins at 400 for 25 minutes.
