These muffins are pretty sweet and I even opted to leave the icing off. This recipe really makes 13-14 muffins. I made 12, as suggested, and was concerned about the batter nearing the top of the cups. After baking the tops stuck to the top of the pan. I dont always use liners, but with this recipe I would and divide the batter as needed. I rated it a 3, because I love oat and apple baked goods. I would try again, reducing the sugar slightly and using liners.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-09-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueBug"},"reviewBody":"Loved them!!

I'm a huge fan of maple cream, maple sugar candy and that's exactly what it tastes like. So good. The actual muffin itself is good, but I would cut back the cinnamon next time, I use Penzey's and it was very strong and competed with the taste of the maple syrup. I don't think \"pancake syrup\" would work as well in this recipe, unless you bump it up with some maple extract.Due to nut allergies in the household I omitted the pecans, but if I had been able to use them, I would have gone for crushed and sprinkled on the top rather than one whole one.A note on the apples: it says chopped, and that's pretty vague. I think it needs to be gauged on the type of apple how small you go. My apples were very firm and I cut them into small dice. 99% cooked all the way through, a couple of the bigger pieces didn't","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"5458","romance_copy_dek":"I've been baking for years and enjoy seeing the smiles on family members' faces whenever they sample one of my treats...like these delicious muffins!","enhanced_recipe_title":"Maple-Drizzled Apple Muffins","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1-1\/3 cups all-purpose flour","IngredientText":"1-1\/3 cups all-purpose flour"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup quick-cooking oats","IngredientText":"1 cup quick-cooking oats"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2\/3 cup sugar","IngredientText":"2\/3 cup sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon baking powder","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon baking powder"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1-1\/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon","IngredientText":"1-1\/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup milk","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup milk"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/3 cup butter, melted","IngredientText":"1\/3 cup butter, melted"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 cup maple syrup","IngredientText":"1\/4 cup maple syrup"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 large egg, lightly beaten. room temperature","IngredientText":"1 large egg, lightly beaten. room temperature"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 cups chopped peeled apples","IngredientText":"2 cups chopped peeled apples"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"12 pecan halves","IngredientText":"12 pecan halves"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"GLAZE:<\/b>","IngredientText":"GLAZE:<\/b>"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/3 cup confectioners' sugar","IngredientText":"1\/3 cup confectioners' sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 tablespoons maple syrup","IngredientText":"2 tablespoons maple syrup"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/300x300\/exps5458_CS1681C70.jpg","RecipeId":5458,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Maple-Drizzled Apple Muffins Recipe photo by Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"exps5458_CS1681C70.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Sarah","Lastname":"Brodersen","City":"Herman","StateDescription":"Nebraska","IsCommunityCook":false,"ContributorAttachmentFileName":"https:\/\/cdn3.tmbi.com\/toh\/Recipe\/testkitchenapproved.png","TimeCallout":"Prep: 25 min.
