Apple Cinnamon Muffins

[clevermanka]

Most of the time my recipe posts are concoctions I've come up with myself. Occasionally I'll post an unoriginal recipe for posterity (the scones) or out of amazement (the donut muffins). This one is a modification from a vintage cookbook.

Apple Cinnamon Muffins
1 c whole wheat graham flour
1/2 c all-purpose unbleached flour
2 1/4 t baking powder
1/4 c Splenda
1/4 c sugar
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1/4 c oil
1 apple, diced
1/2 c chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400F.

Combine dry ingredients, mix well. Beat egg, milk, and oil together. Add to dry ingredients. Mix gently until incorporated. Stir in apples and walnuts.

Spoon into oiled muffin pan, or use silicone cups.

Bake 30 minutes.

Makes 1 dozen muffins.

Heavily modified from Meta Given's The Modern Family Cook Book, 1942. It was originally a streusel-topped coffeecake.

It depends on who you talk to about safety and artificial sweeteners of any sort. Use the full sugar if you want, that's fine!

Ah, actually, I found some Splenda in my cabinet from a pie-making experiment for a neighbor with diabetes some months ago...I'll go ahead and try the recipe as it is, and see how it turns out...
