Julie Stafford's wonderful muffin recipes revolutionised my baking. She introduced me to apple juice concentrate, which contains only 66% sugar and lots of vitamins, minerals and fibre not found in other sweeteners. You can make your own by boiling down pure apple juice to a syrup-like reduction, but good health food stores should have it. This is my absolute favourite muffin, moist and full of flavour....thanks, Julie!
