Tips:
Muffins, like quick breads, become tough if over mixed. Combine the ingredients just until the dry ingredients are moistened. To freeze muffins, wrap tightly in heavy foil or place in freezer bags and freeze up to 3 months. To reheat frozen muffins, wrap in heavy foil. Heat in a 300 degree oven 15 – 18 minutes for medium muffins. One apple yields 1 cup chopped.
