Apple Muffins


Made with fresh apples, these are healthy and so scrumptious! Substitute an artificial sweetener for the sugar, if you want to cut even more calories.

2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
4 cups flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
----------------
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups water
2 beaten eggs

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. I would not recommend paper liners for this recipe.
Stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, add apples and stir to coat. In a separate bowl, stir together eggs, water and applesauce. Make a well in the conter of the dry mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently just until combined, do not over mix or your muffins will be tough. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake 15 minutes, don't overbake. Makes 3 dozen. Store tightly covered. They can be frozen.
