Waking up to the smell of apple muffins will start your family’s day off right. Cream cheese filling makes them moist and tender, and oats and nuts in the topping add crunch.—Connie Boll, Chilton, Wisconsin

Haven't made these yet. I wonder if you could sub. applesauce for the apples. Anyone try that?

nice and moist. In response to the emails about commenting and not actually making the recipe (I agree, if the nutritional value offends you don't bother to take time to comment just move along!), you can click on the person that affends and post right to them, this way you can be sure to let them know your opinions. If they don't ever come back to this recipe to have a look at your comments they will never know what everyone else is thinking!

These were great. For those worring about

calories, fat, etc. Think about giving them

as gifts, or sharing at work.

Nowhere in the recipe did it say yourself.

I have to agree with the last few reviews. If it's too much of anything for you, don't make it but don't review it. That being said the only thing I had to change about the recipe is omitting the pecans from the topping since my son is not a fan of nuts. Overall a really great muffin recipe!!

Really great!!! This was a wonderful treat for my family. A treat in moderation. If you are going to complain about a treat, don't bother to make it, eat it or rate it!!

I have never written a review before but after reading the reviews here I just want to say I agree with Lisa. Moderation is the key. I joined weight watchers 4 years ago and have stayed at goal 2 years. I never gave up baking and take my goodies to work. I always have 1 piece of everything I bake. I love Taste of Home and most recipes come from here. So indulge once in awhile. Happy Thanksgiving from a 105 Lb. looser.

I am SO TIRED of people on here expressing unsolicited opinions about the healthiness of a recipe, and even without making it -- this "reviewer" did it twice!! You people must just be so in love with your own voices. Well, I assure you, most readers on here DON'T appreciate it -- I roll my eyes and wish you'd go away every time! Go puff yourselves up on the "I'm Better Than Everyone Else" board, and stop wasting our time!!

The first time I make a recipe, I never modify it; otherwise how can you rate it accurately?? They weren't that hard to make, and they were a fun treat. Probably won't make them real often. And if it's disgraceful, who's forcing you to make it or eat it??? The world is full of all kinds of foods; pick what you want; enjoy everything in moderation!
