Simmer until soft. Drain liquid, but keep it.
Puree with a stick blender until smooth and add some of the cooking liquid, if necessary.
Muffins:
Preheat oven to 180C. Place muffin cups into a muffin pan or lightly grease the pan with oil.
Mix all the dry ingredients together and stir in the grated carrot and apple. Mix the remaining ingredients together.
Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. Take care not to overmix it. Spoon into muffin cups and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
