Ingredients
2 1/2 cups (625 mL) whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons (10 mL) baking powder
2 teaspoons (10 mL) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) allspice
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) nutmeg
2 teaspoons (10 mL) cinnamon
1 large pear or apple
1 can unsweetened pineapple juice concentrate
1 tablespoon (15ml) vanilla
1 cup (250 mL) smooth unsweetened applesauce, such as Mott’s Fruitsations Apple Unsweetened
fruit snack (2 x 111g cups)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons (10 mL) baking powder
2 teaspoons (10 mL) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) allspice
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) nutmeg
2 teaspoons (10 mL) cinnamon
1 large pear or apple
1 can unsweetened pineapple juice concentrate
1 tablespoon (15ml) vanilla
1 cup (250 mL) smooth unsweetened applesauce, such as Mott’s Fruitsations Apple Unsweetened
fruit snack (2 x 111g cups)
3 eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter muffin tins or use paper liners.
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Grate pear
or apple into bowl and toss to coat.
Combine thawed pineapple concentrate, applesauce and eggs.
Pour into the dry ingredients and quickly stir well.
Fill tins 2/3–3/4 full and bake apple spice muffins for 16-18 minutes.
NOTE: The high fruit content of this batter reacts with the baking soda
to create light muffins even though they use whole wheat flour! Serve
with additional sauce to dip and a smear of almond butter.

Disappointed. I was unable to find any pineapple juice concentrate, so I used orange juice concentrate instead. The instructions are good, but the muffins tasted sort of flat. Maybe missing a bit of salt? They clung badly to the muffin paper liners, as well. I likley won't try them again. They did sound excellent.
