  • “The recipe instructions mention adding milk, but milk is not a listed ingredient.I’m sure my muffins would have turned out better if I’d known how much milk should be used for this recipe! [Editor’s Note: We contacted the author and added the “1 cup milk” as a result of this review.Thanks!]”

  • “simply delicious, a pure heaven”

  • “While the cream cheese flavor wasn’t very predominant, the muffins were indeed tasty. They were also extremely moist. I used light butter, light cream cheese, 1% milk and Total flakes. Everyone enjoyed them. Thanks for posting.”

  • “haven’t had one yet but is on my do list tomorrow!”

  • “I made this recipe substituting Splenda in the batter and used regular sugar for the topping and they came out wonderful. I love the chunks of apple that provide sweetness along with the topping. The texture was very good and they were moist. We’ll definitely make these again!”
