Notes
- These muffins freeze really well and so are perfect for batch-making. Freeze in an airtight bag or container for up to 3 months.
- I prefer red apples for this recipe as they are sweeter. You can also use green apples - they will give a stronger apple flavour but will be less sweet.
- You can experiment with reducing the sugar in this recipe, especially if you have a ripe banana and sweet apple. Note that reducing the sugar might affect the consistency of the batter/muffin.
