APPLE MUFFINS (VERY HEALTHY)

Apple Muffins (Very Healthy) image

This recipe is from the Liver Cleansing Diet by Dr Sandra Cabot. It is very healthy and tastes great. I don't add the sultanas because I don't like them and if I don't have almond oil or soy milk, I use canola oil and fat free milk and they still turn out great.

Tips:

For a sweeter muffin, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji.
For a tarter muffin, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the muffins from becoming too mushy.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
