Fluffy Walnut Apple Muffins, and substituting with applesauce
A friend of mine online alerted me to this recipe for Fluffy Walnut Apple Muffins, which sounds divine. I have a couple days off coming up, and I've been feeling in the baking mood, so these might be next on my list.
She added a 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg in the first step, and used 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of applesauce instead of the called-fo 1/2 cup of butter. You can usually substitute applesauce for your butter/oil/fats in a recipe -- and it's better for you and tasty! Not to mention that the pectin in applesauce will keep your bread/cake/muffins moist longer.
Off-topic: By the way -- are you allowed to call someone your friend if you've never met them in real life? I talk to some people online all the time, but I'll probably never meet them. But saying "friend" is kind of weird, too. Hm.
