I read through a lot of the comments before deciding how to make these. I reduced the sugar and only used 1 cup, left out the raisins and walnuts and the nutmeg because I didn't have any. I also used regular muffin tins and cooked them for 20 minutes. These came out GREAT! My daughter was so excited to have these waiting when she got home from school. Now that I have a baseline I will definitely try some of the recommendations to make these a little healthier.

To try to make them a little "healthier", I put in 1/2c applesauce and 1/2 c plain greek yogurt plus two teaspoons stevia to substitute for the sugar. Next time I will try what another reviewer said and sub out some of the butter with greek yogurt, too! I put in 1 c raisins and 1 c cranberries, also. They were incredible! Everyone in my family loved them and I could not keep them in the house. Every time someone walked through the kitchen, they grabbed one and popped it in their mouths. They were moist and flavorful with great texture as they were so full of raisins, cranberries and walnuts. Thanks for a great recipe!

I was a little overcome with the 2 sticks of butter and 2 cups of sugar! I took a gamble with the following changes and I have to say these were amazing! These came out with fantastic texture and SO flavorful. I substituted one 6 oz. cup of Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt for 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of the sugar. I also used 2 cups regular flour and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. Your house will smell AMAZING while the warm mixture cools on the stove too. Try this, you will not be disappointed!

Muffins were a hit! I will definitely be making these for the holidays. Only thing I changed about the recipe was instead of using 2 cups of sugar, I used one cup of sugar and half a cup of honey and only one cup of raisins. The muffins were moist and had a pleasant texture. The apples and walnuts really came through.

It takes a bit of time to shred the apples and cool the mixture (I cooled mine in the fridge, but these are easy and tasty.

My variations: I used a bag cinnamon chips instead of raisins and nuts. No cloves (didn't have any. I made regular sized muffins (350 convection for 18 minutes. In retrospect, I might cut back on the nutmeg ( I do grate my own, which is pretty strong.

I made these muffins during Christmas time 2009 to go into a few small gift baskets I was sending out. It ended up being everyone's favorite thing. Took some to my in-laws and they loved them as well. We all did. I did make a few adjustments only because I thought I had enough of the ingrediants. I'm not a big raisin fan, though i like raisins. so I used about 1/2 recipe amount and not quite the amount of walnuts it called for.I also couldn't find whole nutmeg so I used a little more than a pinch of ground nutmeg. Now I'm thinking this recipe must be full proof because after watching the show and looking at the recipe I goofed and after bringing mixture to a boil I continued to heat and it got so thick I ended up having to thin it out and then finished recipe. However, it still turned out fabulous and I am not a big muffin fan. The flavor, texture, everything was great. I'm getting ready to make them again. Thank you Paula, my daughter and I love your shows and you are our favorite cook.

i used half buttermilk, and lacking enough apples and raisins, turned to a dried fruit medley i had in the cupboard...in went more apples and raisins, as well as strawberries, pineapple, apricots, mangos, prunes and a few kiwi. i also added orange extract because my husband asked me to. i like the tang the buttermilk gives, and each bite had a burst of different fruit flavors. My sons and husband (me, too loved them. Not that it matters, but i also made the huge muffins and just watched the time in the oven. They are terrific.

I hope you don't mind Paula, but I modified your recipe a little, as I'm on a low fat, low cholesterol diet but your recipes are always soooo good, I thought yours would be a good start. I used applesauce in place of butter,- I know shame on me!! + 2 tlbs. canola oil,I also used a mixture of white and wheat flour and oatmeal, I increased the water by 1/2 cp. and had to bake for 30 mins. But the result is amazing... Sooooo Gooood.... Thank You

I made these and they were easy to make but waiting for the mixture to cool off means either make it to finish later or when you can wait like a weekend. They weren't as light and fluffy as I had hoped, instead they were a bit dense so I am thinking there is something missing like applesauce, yogurt, or something. That is my personal taste however, I did serve them up along side some honey butter (Atlon brown's version and they disappeared!
