Comments: We received four little apples from our son's karate instructor and I whipped this up very quickly so we could use them. The boys really enjoyed these muffins--they did not last long! I think you could easily substitute any type of flour into the recipe (for example, a nut or gluten free version). I typically fixate on apple recipes in the fall, so this feels a little (wonderfully) premature.... :)
