I needed a muffin that called for a lot of fruit since I had some of everything on hand and this fit the bill. Made these yesterday and have 3 left! I used 2 overripe bananas for the apple butter and forgot the wheat germ and nuts, but they are still terrific. Kids love them and my husband ate 4 in a sitting.

I made these for Christmas brunch and they were a big hit. I could not find apple butter in the store, but substituted applesauce without a problem. My 2-year-old loved them. One reviewer complained that there wasn't alot of batter, but that is why I enjoyed them.

YUM! I used zucchini instead of carrots and put in a 1/2 cup of walnuts. They are so moist and delicious!!

These are outstanding. Perfect amount of batter to other ingredients, pretty healthy, and delicious. I used a granny smith apple, and the tartness was just what I'd hoped for. I thought one apple wouldn't be enough, but it was perfect. This recipe made 6 giant muffins and 3 regular size ones (although it probably could have made 4 had I not filled the cups so full!) I did bake for 30 minutes since the muffins were large, and they are great. The only thing I will change is to add 1 cup instead of 1 1/4 cups of sugar next time. They are just a smidgen too sweet for me.

Delicious! Used applesauce instead of apple butter and half a Fuji apple. Very good! The topping was the best part!

Wonderful! Easy, moist, healthy . . . what more could I ask for!? This has been a muffin pregnancy. At least eating these I know I am getting good nutrition instead of eating muffins from the store that are just sugar. thanks for sharing!

Super moist and really easy. Great recipe! I didn't have raisins on hand, but cranberries gave it the right amount of tart flavor. Plus, the toasty walnuts on top is a nice finish. I will use this one again. Thanks!

Delicious, very moist. I have also substituted pumpkin butter for the apple butter with pecans instead of walnuts. Both ways are a favorite in my house.
