These muffins were lovely and light. The apple is a nice compliment to the sweetness of the chestnuts and does not overpower the subtle flavor.

    These look delcious . . .good recipe as we start to head into the fall. Also, if your looking to go a little litter (aka calorie friendly) replace the oil with apple sauce. Give the same level of moisture without the fat, and also complements the apple flavor in the recipe quite well!
