I made these muffins using granny smith apples, and made the Texas size muffins, they got great reviews from the girls at the work place, so that means this is a keeper. I grated some of the apples and chopped the other cup, I like little chunks of apple in this receipe, this will be made again.

Yummy! I used golden raisins instead of regular and they "melted" right in; my kids don't care for raisins in muffins and they couldn't even tell they were there! I also did not grate the apples; just cut them into smaller pieces. I will definitely use this recipe again.

This recipe is fabulous Paula! My brother and I have both made these and took them to our church potluck! They were a hit to say the least! Now going to have people over once a month to play bingo since we are stuck indoors and plan to make these muffins for them! Wishing you a blessed New Year and continued success in 2011!

Wanted to let you know that we enjoy these muffins... Usually as a quick snack for me or the kiddos. I did cut the nutmeg in half as we found it to be a bit spicy using the full amount. Other than that, they are great and I will keep making them! Thanks for a great and healthy snack!

I used sweetend dried cranberries instead of raisins since I made these around the holiday's. They were a huge hit with my family and I'll be making them for years to come!

I have made this recipe over and over and the last couple of times I used Splenda instead of sugar and they have all come out just fantastic!!!!PAULA IS THE BEST!

I didn't get all my ingredients out before I started grating the apples, and ended up not having nutmeg or cloves, so I substituted 3 teaspoons of pumpkin spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, and they turned out wonderful! Next time I will try to follow the recipe better.
