I have just recovered from a nasty flu. While I was in bed struggling to eat, my husband made an attempt to cook Stewed Apple for me, but it ended up a mushy paste-like sauce. Today I used it to make these Muffins based on my ‘Morning Glory Muffins’. If you have leftover Apple Sauce, it would be perfect for these Muffins.
