    GAH, too much apple deliciousness for me to handle! BUT, the apple sweet potato fries look very interesting. I’m intrigued. Maybe I’ll try it! 😀 I really want to try making a vegan version of the whole wheat muffins! They look like a serious crowd-pleaser!

      Yes don’t those fries look crazy good?! And you could likely sub the egg with a flaxseed “egg” replacement. Most muffins bake well with that vegan replacement 🙂 Let me know if you try!
