EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a pretty presentation, serve the muffins on a pedestal plate.

If you're serving the muffins for a company brunch, use two paper baking cups for each muffin. By doing so you'll get a brighter color.

I have a question can you use cranberries instead of apples? Do I have to do anything different with them? I love cranberry muffins so I just thought I would ask! Thanks, enjoy your site!
