  I just wondered if there was a mistake in this recipe or was it supposed to be egg free? I made up the mixture without and it looked too dense, so added 1 egg and turned out fine although would almost be tempted to try it with too. Maybe it was intentional and the buttermilk was supposed to moisten and lighten the mixture but if so they need a bit more. I will make again as they turned out well and looking for ways to use up glut of apples!

  I've seen other apple muffin recipes without egg, and some with too. This egg-free recipe will probably turn out like an apple scone, a traditional Scottish recipe. The amount of liquid (buttermilk, skimmed, semi-skimmed, whole milk) seems about right. I'm about to give them a go!

  Well, they were delish! I used whole milk and mixed spice as had no buttermilk or ground ginger. The proportion of liquid was just right and they came out a treat - moist but fluffy too. Bet cinnamon would be a good variation. And, to be very US of A, you could add a half teaspoon or two of pure vanilla essence. Mmm, mmm.

  Lovely taste, they stuck a bit to the muffin cases but this may be because I added an egg (before I read Clove's comments). Used milk with a squeeze of lemon juice as didn't have buttermilk. Will probably add some cinnamon next time for that full on apple/cinammon experience.

  hmm these were ok. i got much more than 8 but i was using large cupcakes cases rather thanmuffin ones. next time i will put the spice into the cake mix rather than one the fruit so you can taste it better. they also were quite brown on top but not 1100% done inside?? will try once more if i get a thumbs up from the kids....

  Do you have to use cooking apples for these or will ordinary eating apples such as Golden Delicious do?

  Does anyone know if you can freeze these muffins, or muffins in general?

  I used eating apples and think this is the better option for the sweetness, cooking apples would be a bit tart. They should freeze ok but havnt tried yet, although I do freeze lots of other cakes.

  used cinnamon as well as the ginger and increased the amount of apple. No need to add egg. Used milk with lemon as I didn't have any buttermilk. Beautiful, light and fluffy will be making again

  the original recipe is lovely but I have adapted them adding grated carrot, a handful of chopped pecans and a teaspoon of cinamon - they were gorgeous and still low fat - people at work love them!

  These are simple and quick, perfect for a midweek russle-up. Spicing up the recipe helps a great deal, I added mixed spice directly to the flour and threw in some pecans and vanilla extract also. The top of the muffin didn't look as nice as this picture much more smooth and dry looking, but tasty all the same.

  These were really light and fluffy, and they tasted great. I added cinnamon and vanilla essence, as well as ginger which worked really well.

  After reading everyone's comments, I used semi skimmed milk with a dash of lemon, coated the apples in ground cinnamon and added a little mixed spice to the flour mix. The muffins came out very fluffy, almost a bit crumbly, but they tasted delicious! Not bad for a first attempt at making muffins :o)

  I used semi-skimmed milk and mixed spice. The overall taste was lovely and the texture light and fluffy. Bit crumbly though and don't come away from the case very easily. Thumbs up from the family though - will make again.
