    2 In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, apple purée and oil. Create a well in the centre of dry ingredients and pour in apple mixture. Combine well.

    3 Stir in carrots and prunes, adding teaspoons of hot water if mixture becomes too dry.

    4 Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

    Variations

    Use nutmeg and sultanas (or dried cranberries) instead of cinnamon and prunes.
