I halved the recipe and used butter in place of shortening - as shortening is hard to come by in some parts of the world. An apple, cored, peeled and shredded equaled about 1 cup for me (I used and "Elster" apple - it's red and tastes a bit like a Granny Smith apple) and I sprinkled a little bit of shredded coconut on half of the muffins just to see how it would turn out - The coconut-topped muffins toasted nicely - and taste heavenly :-) Overall, these cupcakes turned out great - I give it 5 stars - a keeper for my recipe box - will make again and again and again...

These are delicious and easy to make!! Slightly crispy top, moist underneath. My very finicky 5 year old scarfed up three of them, no frosting on them or anything. I will make again and add some bran for his breakfast. Thanks!!!

Yummy! Very moist and tasty. I subtracted a little of the sugar to compensate for the cream cheese frosting I added. Also great with walnuts!

I have a toddler who constantly starts apples and bananas, but never finishies them. This is perfect for all those leftovers. I put the fruit in the blender and pureed it. I used butter instead of shortening.

My changes: vegetable oil instead of shortening, 1/4tsp nutmeg. Soft velvety inside, perfect crumb on the outside. Not strongly flavored by the apple or banana, but you can still taste each, along with the spices. For more of a dessert I may add walnuts or whitechocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting. Great as is though! I bet they freeze well too.

My family LOVED this recipe! I was expecting them to come out like a cupcake, but without the icing they're like a muffin. As a muffin they are a great breakfast food. thankyou!!

It's my first time to make cupcakes. I even not have the cupcakes set. But I tasted great! All of my friends and her friend's baby like it very much. The texture is a bit wet and the taste is not too sweet.

This is an excellent recipe. Cupcakes come out light and moist and stay moist for a few days if kept in an airtight container. A little bit much nutmeg for my taste... maybe use 1/4 tsp. These would also be good with raisins. If you like them sweet, frost with vanilla frosting. I will be making these again. Thank you.

A great recipe. I came across it and had to try it. It was a success, my friends and family pollished all the muffins off in about a day. Well worth attempting!

I thought this recipe was very simple to make. I used 1 cup applesauce instead of shredded apples. As others suggested, I used oil instead of shortning and yogurt instead of buttermilk using the same measurements that recipe called for. I baked the recipe as a loaf at 325 for about 50-60 minutes. If your oven is hot, you may want to add a foil tent for the last 10 minutes or loaf might get too brown. There was enough extra batter for about 4 cupcakes. If you use all the batter in the loaf dish, it will overflow. The batter was dense in texture but turned out very well and very moist.

These muffins were really good. It's a mix between banana nut bread and apple pie! I followed some other tips w/ the apples. Instead of grating the apples, I chopped them up into small slivers instead. I used fresh nutmeg also, I think that makes a huge difference in how the muffins taste. I got a little less than 24 muffins. I think I ended w/ 18 small muffins. I wonder if I can substitute half of the "shortening" and use applesauce instead? Because I did grate some apple into the mix and it tasted fine. I ate a couple of muffins and threw the rest into a freezer bag. Pull out and microwave for a quick breakfast or snack. You should definitely try it!

This was so good. I made a cake instead of cupcakes and it turned out so moist and yummy. I made it for my one year old's birthday cake. She loved it too. My step-mom even asked for the recipe! Thanks!

Wonderful cupcakes!!! Moist and it sure smells as good as it tastes. My friend who doesn't like dessert gave a thumb up to this cake. I reduced sugar to one cup and used half/half white/brown sugar. I subsituted shortening with veg. oil and buttermilk with yogurt. And voila, they are so yummy. Thank you Barbara for sharing us this great recipe.

The first time I made this, I made it with over 10 tablespoons of butter (the equivalent of 2/3 cup shortening); the second time around I scaled the butter back to 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter and I used the classic quick bread mixing technique where I melted the butter and added it to the wet ingredients and then folded in the dry ingredients. Much easier than creaming the butter with sugar. The muffins were delicious and didn't suffer at all from reducing the fat content.

Great recipe, just what I was looking for. Nice and fluffly, not at all dense and oily tasting like some banana muffins. I added some chopped walnuts, but otherwise followed the recipe.
