1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup cranberries, washed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Tammy's Review: 

These muffins are SO delicious! They are literally bursting with beautiful red cranberries, which give a delightful tangy taste. They're very spicy, very fruity, a bit tangy, and not too sweet: a perfect combination! These muffins will leave you wishing cranberries were on sale all year 'round! My rating: 10/10

Very, very nice. :)

I think my mom and I are having too much of a love affair with cranberries! This was really great - nice and mellow and great for breakfast on a cold morning. I like the orange cranberry muffins more though. I think I just prefer tangier foods. :D

Is there a difference between baking apples and regular apples? I just used two Jana gold apples, which aren't as sweet as say, green apples.
