Carrot Apple Muffins

When I first came across this recipe, I thought it would have chunks of apple inside of the muffin but the apple referred to the apple sauce.  For the future, I think, I would put in either pieces of apple or another fruit.  A small amount of nuts would work as well.

My granddaughter loves this muffin and she completely finishes it.  It is a joy to see her eat something I made for her.
