not WW Apple Muffins

So I've accepted the challenge to put some weight on my dh who has a very high metabolism and loses weight unintentionally whenever he eliminates desserts, but he does take a daily muffin for a mid-morning snack and this will definitely get his taste buds going. The original recipe is from an easy cookbook, "Knead It, Punch It, Bake It!, The Ultimate Breadbaking Book for Parents and Kids" by Judith and Evan Jones. Sweet and delicious, serve warm!

makes 10 to 12 muffins:

1 large egg

1/4 C vegetable oil

1/2 C light brown sugar

2 1/2 C white flour

1/2 C stone ground whole wheat flour (white flour optional)

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 c milk (fat free optional)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, cut in small dice

topping:

2 tsp sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Beat the egg, then add the oil and sugar continuing to beat until well blended. Mix together the flour(s), baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, then pour in the milk and fold in the diced apples.

Butter a muffin pan (or spray with Pam Baking spray) and fill the cups with the batter, 2/3 full. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the muffins and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the over, let rest in the pan for 5 minutes and then move to a platter to cool.
