Raw Apple Muffins, contributed by Sandy Bohannon of McClusky, are a substantial fall muffin built around four cups of diced apples, cinnamon, raisins, whole-wheat flour, and walnuts.

The detail that makes this recipe memorable is not in the ingredient list. Sandy notes that these muffins were served at the Bishop’s Inn Bed and Breakfast where she stayed the night before her son’s wedding.
