Very tasty, but don't over-ccok the cranberries or your dish will have a pinkish tinge to it.

To Complain or Not To Complain

Unfortunately the answers to these questions return us to the subjectivity and capriciousness of the individual person's character. When the situation is not a no-brainer because it doesn't lie at one extreme or the other, we must then decide what we are...

Apple and Cranberry Muffins

Turned out very good. I was worried how they would turn out considering that there was absolutely no butter or oil in the recipe at all! They didn't rise as much as more traditional recipes but turned out great with a lovely rustic home-made appearance. Not too sweet, lots of chunks of apple and cranberries, bursts of sweet vs. sour. The texture was slightly like a sponge cake. I would recommend filling the muffin cup from 2/3 up to full.
