Sweet -Tart Apple Muffin Recipe

Apples, as we know, are one of the most nutritious fruits there is. “An apple a day” is not just an old wives’ tale. Apple nutrition, especially with skins (best when organic) includes high levels of anti-oxidants that fight free radical damage, fiber (good for cleaning us out) and good carbs, as well as a multitude of vitamins like C, and minerals. Apple pectin is also known to lower cholesterol levels, help maintain good blood pressure, and is a good source of natural sugar. And of course they’re low in fats and sodium.

We tend to use as many natural and organic ingredients in our recipes as possible. As you may know, fruits can be heavily sprayed, retaining the toxins on their skins. These toxins can also penetrate the skins. Washing may remove some, but they should be peeled to remove the majority. Good organic apples need only be washed well, and skins can remain, maintaining more nutrition. With all that said, here’s our recipe!
