Cheap Tuesdays - Fruit Muffins

This fruit muffin recipe is quick, easy and perfect for using up old fruit that would otherwise go to waste. Usually apple or pear end up in these at our house, but we have used apricots, nectarines, peaches or combinations before and they are all delicious hot or cold. They also freeze well, so great for having in the freezer for school snacks.
