These were moist and flavorful. I used 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup white whole wheat flour. I reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. I used 1 heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice instead of the other spices. I shaved the apples so my son wouldn’t detect them. I will definitely make these again!

Very delicious! Just be aware the pumpkin flavor is subtle.

Followed recipe exactly and very tasty. Made 12 small muffins and used remaining batter topped with a nut crumb to make a small loaf of sweet bread. Will make again.

These are delicious! My husband who claims he does not like pumpkin ate two of them warm from the oven!

Delicious! I reduced sugar to one and a half and added 1/8 tsp of ground cloves. Turned out moist and fluffy. Could probably reduce the sugar to 1 cup and they would still be awesome!

I used whole wheat flour, cut the sugar to 1 cup, used Greek yogurt instead of oil, used 3 cups of apples, added a few raisins. I was surprised with the long cooking time, but it is perfect.Good muffins, although I still find them quite sweet, likely from the additional fruit. My family is quite happy with them.

Followed recipe exactly, down to the cooking time, and they turned out perfect! So delicious. Nice, full, round shape; moist, but fluffy texture. They only thing I wish I'd done differently--as another reviewer also mentioned--was be a bit more generous with the apples (I didn't actually measure those). I might also try adding some clove spice next time too.

Moist and delicious... Especially right out of the oven, but still great when cooled.

A good flavor combination, very moist and pretty easy to make. Be generous with the apples. I wished that I had added more. I also added a few dashes of ground cloves. Smells so good!
