Great muffins! I substitute whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of white, and I use about half brown sugar and half white. I also use applesauce for half of the oil, and that works well. I like Granny Smith apples in these muffins because they hold their shape and flavor nicely (I cut them into big chunks because I like the apples to be noticeable!). I find that extra cinnamon doesn't dry these out because the apples are so moist. And for the topping, I use 1/4 cup of softened butter instead of 1/2, and this seems to be plenty. I wouldn't fill the muffin cups more than 3/4 because the muffins do rise, and the topping can be messy in the oven. Overall, this is a great recipe--wonderful flavor, texture, sweetness, moistness, etc. :)

This recipe was great! It was very easy and quick, except for peeling and chopping the apples, but i guess there's no way around that! I used 2 tsp. of cinnamon instead of one and also instead of 1/3 c. oil, i used 1/8 c. vegetable oil and 1/4 c. applesauce. I got 12 muffins out of this. They are delicious- a great way to get rid of some apples!

I liked this recipe, its simple and easy. I found that if you change some of the ingredients, like instead of 1.5 cups of sugar, I just used one; Instead of 2/3 cups of oil and milk i used 1/3 of both, added an extra egg and some hot water to replace the milk and oil, the mixture turns out more fluffy and light. Nice simple recipe tho :)
