these are really good! I used 1/2 oil, 1/2 applesauce and threw in some pecans. Moist as can be, and a wonderful flavor. I was never a fan of ban. muffins but these are wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

They were pretty good muffins. I substituted applesauce for the shortening, chopped the apples instead of shredding them, and I only had one banana, so I threw in a few handfuls of blueberries. I also skipped the buttermilk. I would try this again, but with 1 more banana and maybe some soymilk to keep in the moistness of the muffins. Thanks Barbara!

I thought these were pretty good. I followed the ingredients exactly and the only thing I did differently was to finely chop the apples instead of shredding. I didn't frost them but have been spreading low-fat cream cheese on them when I eat them for breakfast and that is quite yummy. I have been storing them in a covered container and a few days after making they are extrememly moist which makes it difficult to put the cream cheese on but the flavor is still good.

i LOVE these cupcakes. I think it is delicious without the frosting. just a little bit of frosting would be good if you prefer it. I didn't add the nutmeg but I used a teaspoon of cinnamon instead. Still amazingly delicious

These disappeared so fast I hardly got a chance to taste one! They weren't too sweet for my picky almost-three-year-old, and my skeptical husband (not a fan of too much banana) devoured them. Great balance of apple and banana. Thanks for the instant-hit recipe!

These are delicious and make a lot. I made a double recipe and it made about 40 muffins, and the cups were really pretty full.

I used unsweetened applesauce instead of shortening and I found these to be very sweet but they had a great texture. Tried again with only 2/3 cup sugar and they were plenty sweet for me. Also reduced nutmeg by half and chopped the apples.

This was exactly everything I wanted an apple and banana "cupcake" (I would call it a muffin) to be. I didn't have shortening so I just substituted vegetable oil for that. Didn't have buttermilk either so I used 1/4 cup of milk and added a little bit of vinegar to it. Diced the apples instead of shredding so that there's still a nice texture to the muffin. This recipe comes out super moist and delicious.

For me, these were just ok. They tasted good but not great and didn't look very nice. I filled the muffin cups to about 2/3 or 3/4 full and I still got very small muffins, that weren't nice and plump and round. And lets face it - these aren't cupcakes. I did chop the apple as other recommended but honestly, I could see it being good shredded also. With so many good recipes out there, I'm not planning on making this one again.

these were good. for some reason my brother didn't like them, but i thought they were really yummy. i did put in some applesauce instead of shortening, and cut back on the sugar a tiny bit. i think that white chocolate chips would make a wonderful addition.

Very good and moist. I used two apples and one banana and put the whole thing into a 9" and 4" cake pans. I finely chopped my apples but the pieces were still too big, the kids could see them and wouldn't touch it. Next time I'll follow the recipe and grate the apples so they get hidden in the mix. My husband loves it with frosting I prefer it plain for breakfast. I also doubled the cinnamon and nutmeg because we like spice but I'm sure its still great with the normal amount.

Wonderful. I was in a hurry so I ran the banana and the apple through the food processor while the apple was pretty big chunks it was still great.

Yum! I also substituted vegetable oil for shortening. I added 3 bananas total and topped with chopped pecans and brown sugar. I chopped the apples rather than shredding and an apple flavor definitely comes through because of it. With this mixture these were definitely more of a muffin texture.

Love this recipe, have never liked my own muffins as much! I substituted 1.5 sticks of butter for the shortening though and used 3 small apples and 2.5 bananas (half of one fell on the floor!) I also used a crumb(ish) topping... Great!!!

These were to die for! I made crumb muffins, these were my changes: 1 C. whole wheat flour plus 1 C. all purpose flour, 1/3 C. olive oil plus 1/3 C. unsweetened apple sauce in place of shortening, 3/4 C. white sugar plus 1/2 C. brown sugar, added 1/4 t. nutmeg, added a basic crumb topping (oatmeal/butter/brown sugar), baked 10 delicious jumbo muffins @ 350 degrees for 27 minutes.

We loved these! I made a few changes. Used canola oil instead of shortening. I used 1.5c bananas (had 4 that needed to be used today!) I used only 1/2 the sugar (and used brown--I was out of white). They were fantastic!!!
