Apple Raisin Muffins

shared by Patty H. (these were moist and very tasty)

Ingredients

    1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    1/2 cup sugar

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 egg

    1/2 cup fat-free milk

    1/4 cup canola oil

    1 cup chopped peeled tart apple

    1/4 cup raisins

   

CRUMB TOPPING:

    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1 tablespoon cold butter

Directions

1.     In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

2.     Combine the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

3.     Fold in the apple and raisins.

4.     Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill two-thirds full with batter.

5.     For topping, in a bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.

6.     Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

(note:  I used 2% milk and a regular apple for the muffins and old-fashioned oats in the topping and they turned out fine)
