apple muffins

yes, technically i have an apple-currant muffin recipe which when done properly produces excellent muffins. but i'm still looking for that absolutely to die for apple muffin recipe. this was my latest experiment, made for my adventure to stirling and adopted from the twofatals recipe, which they adapted from somewhere.
all measurements highly theoretical, due to utter lack of measuring devices.

2 c flour
3/4 tsp soda
1/2 tsp tartar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
1/3 c sugar
2 T honey
2 eggs
1 1/4 t vanilla
1 chunked apple
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c sultanas

cream butter with sugar, honey. add eggs one at a time, vanilla. stir in fruit.
mix dry. add dry to wet.

bake til done.

they were quite tasty whilst hot, and the following day once they'd moistened up a bit. original called for walnuts, brown sugar instead of honey, more brown sugar, less white sugar, shredded apple in addition to chunked, powder instead of powder substitute, and streusel.
i'd definitely add some shredded apple (broke down and bought a grater today), more sultanas, maybe some chopped pecans, and the barest touch of streusel. not too much shredded apple, mind, as the dryness of the batter meant the texture approximated streusel all on its own. maybe just a tablespoon or two of shredded apple in the batter and then top with caramelized shredded apple whilst hot.
to be continued, i hope
