4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, then add sugar. Whisk the mixture until pale in color, then add oil and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just a little flour shows.
6.Then gently stir in fresh apples and fresh cranberries.
7. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake muffins for 40 minutes in a preheated oven. For 6 large muffins, bake about 25 for 12 smaller ones, or until muffins are golden brown or a toothpick in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove muffins from oven and let cool for a few minutes then turn out onto wire racks.
