3. In another bowl, microwave the apricots with the water until all the liquid is absorbed (about 1 minute on 100% power).
4. Add the butter to the apricot mixture, warm it a bit more if needed to mix it in.
5. Then mix in the eggs, sour cream or Greek style yogurt and grated orange rind.
6. Make the juice from the orange up to half a cup with water (if necessary) and add this and the chopped walnuts to the mixture.
7. Fold the two mixtures together, taking care not to overmix.
8. Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin tins.
9. Bake at 190C for about 12-15 minutes for medium or about 10-12 for mini or until the mffins spring back when pressed lightly.

This was very easy to make. I used whole wheat flour. The muffins lost a little volume when they came out of the oven, but they taste good. I doubled the quantity of cinnamon and apricots. I would make it again--trying to expand my repertoire of healthy snacks for under 200 calories, fits right in. - 4/21/09
