Apple Muffins
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup applesauce

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 stick butter, melted and cooled

1 3/4 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup old-fashioned oats

1 medium apple, peeled and grated (or finely chopped)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Whisk together milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla.

Add sugars and blend; add flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, and salt to combine thoroughly.

Use a large rubber spatula to stir in the apples and oats (you can also add nuts and raisins); scrape the batter into prepared muffin pan.

Bake for 10-15 minutes for mini muffins and 20-25 for regular, or until the muffins are golden brown and pass the toothpick test.
