Granny Smith Apple-raisin Chunky Yummy Muffins image

This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again.
