This recipe is fantastic! I actually made the full-size muffin recipe, and they turned out great! This is my first "fall" recipe that I have made and I love it! Good enough for breakfast or an afternoon snack!

I don't care for raisins so I am going to substitute dried cranberries or chocolate chips. Can hardly wait to try them.

Can this also be made as a bread in a loaf pan? If so, at what temperature and how long? Thanks

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! smile

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!
