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

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!

The texture was slightly like a sponge cake. I would recommend filling the muffin cup from 2/3 up to full.
