Great recipe and Very easy to make! Did not add grated apples anymore since it has applesauce already and also used 20 oz crushed pineapples instead of 8oz and still came out perfect!

This is a great recipe, i have been making these muffins for a year now every two weeks as my husband takes these to work everyday. I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour and I add a 1/2 cup of ground flaxseed, I also add a 20oz can of pineapple instead of the 8 oz

My family likes anything with carrots, but it has apple sauce already so I substitutued crushed pineapple for the chopped apple. Turned out great!

These are so good you can't stop at just one. But you can't eat too many either, because they are so filling. We love them. I used whole wheat flour, didn't peel apple and reduced the oil a little to make it healthier. I am going to try using gluten free baking mix in place of the wheat flour now that I have a gluten sensitivity. My friend begs me to make these for her!
