Apple Muffins

I have made these muffins several times but not as the recipe is written.  The reason being that I never have apple juice concentrate on hand.  So, I have substituted  the concentrate with either applesauce, ground up pears, or ground up bottled peaches that have been drained.  All three have turned out well and been very moist and tasty.
