      These muffins look very promising. I may just have to try them soon...however I was thinking of using some apples that have been in the fridge a little longer than usual. I'm sure these too can be a great substitute?!? Thanks for sharing a recipe in consideration of healthier eating choices.
      Flavourful wishes, Claudia

        Hi Claudia

        Yes, substituting with apples would be fine - and they said like they are very ripe which is perfect! Let me know how they turn out. You might not need as much sugar if the apples you have are quite sweet.
