“A friend in New York gave me the recipe for these delightful muffins,” Margaret McNeil notes from Germantown, Tennessee. “They stay moist for days…if you have any left!”

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped peeled tart apple
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons raisins

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the apple and sugar; set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, oil and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the apple mixture, walnuts and raisins.
  2. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill three-fourths full with batter.
  3. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
