I have the lower-carb apple pie in the oven, it'll be a while before it's done and cool enough to taste.
It's out and it looks like an apple pie:
I made them today, too, as mini-muffins. Using a #60 scoop, the yield was 35 muffins, so they come out at about 10.9 carbs (10.4 net) and 59 calories each.
Changes made: I left out the coffee, cut the clove to 1/8 teaspoon, and increased the cinnamon to 3/4 teaspoon.
I can tell it has clove, but it isn't overpowering, might even be possible to increase it to 1/4 teaspoon.
As mini-muffins they took about 25 minutes to bake in a silicone pan.
Diane's reaction was typical for her: needs more cinnamon. She also agrees that I could have used 1/4 teaspoon of clove instead of 1/8 and maybe cut back on the raisins a little, and possibly the oatmeal, both changes that would help the carb count a little. If I had used a #70 scoop, I would probably have gotten more like 45-48 muffins..
I left the second set in about 5 minutes longer (oven turned off) they're a bit darker on the outside as a result, and the surface has a little crunch to it. (I put the first set back in a cooling oven to crisp up a bit later on, too, something I often do with banana nut mini-muffins.)
I wonder how they'd be if I subbed in some brown sugar?
