Reduced-Fat Apple Muffins

Directions

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease 6 x ¾ cup capacity Texas muffin holes or 12 x ⅓ cup capacity holes.

Sift flour into a large bowl.

Using your fingertips, rub in margarine until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Stir in sugar. Combine milk, egg and 1 cup pie apple. Stir into flour mixture (don’t overmix batter - it should still look lumpy). Spoon mixture into pan.

Finely chop remaining pie apple.

Spoon over muffins.

Combine nutmeg, sugar and oats.

Spoon over muffins.

Bake muffins for 30 to 35 minutes for ¾ cup capacity muffins or 20 to 25 minutes for ⅓ cup capacity muffins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Serve muffins warm with ice-cream.
