After 3 tries, and some minor adjustments, these are now perfect. I didn't find the muffins sweet enough as is, so I added 1/4 cup brown sugar. I wasn't sure what yo do with the random 2tbsp. flour, so I added it it the topping. Bake time is closer to 22mins @ 400F. Read More

It was a little dry, but the taste was good. I would add 3/4 cup apple sauce next time to increase the moisture. Read More

It was very moist and Delicious, but you should add an extra 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the batter, and used the random 2 tablespoons of flour in the topping. I also recommend an extra tablespoon of butter to the topping. I hope you enjoy the muffins Read More

Tasty and moist muffins! I used melted butter for the oil, omitted the salt since I am on a low sodium diet, used 1/4 cup milk and increased applesauce to 3/4 cup, reduced rolled oats and flour to 1 1/4 cups each, batter perfect not dry. I baked at 375 for 18 minutes which was perfect in my oven, skipped topping, #50 scoop yielded 14 muffins. I agree maybe using apple juice for the milk would make it even better! Read More

I found these to be moist and delicious. The kids gobbled them up. We left the sugar as is. The first time I made them I was short 1/2cup oats so I used 1 cup old fashioned oats and 1/4 cup flaxseed meal. Very good. The next time I made them I followed the recipe as written and they were very good. I am using this as my base muffin recipe from here on out. I have substituted 1cup grated zucchini for the diced apple with rave reviews. This is a tasty no fail recipe in this household. I make them at least once a week. I’m making them with pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice with dried cranberries as I type. Read More

Very good flavor. Didn't have any applesauce so I made my own (just a little bragging). Found the chopped apples made the muffins fall apart so think I'd use chunky applesauce next time. Wanted it sugar free but don't like the after taste so I used sugar free maple syrup. Will make again. Read More

So yummy! Moist and delicious. Make sure to chop apple into small pieces. Press crumble topping into batter a little or it will fall off when done. I added chopped walnuts and a handful of raisins and a pinch of nutmeg. I didn t add more sugar to batter and they are sweet enough for me. Good breakfast muffin! Read More
