From Muffins, Sweet & Savory Comfort Food by Cindi Duncan and Georgie Patrick, published by Gibbs Smith, Publisher

1 2/3 cups flour

3 tablespoons sugar

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg beaten

1 cup skim milk

2 tablespoons oil

1 cup finely chopped apple

Preheat oven to 185ºC (205ºC for conventional) Spray muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Make a well in center of mixture. In a small bowl, combine egg, milk and oil; pour into center of dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in apple. Fill muffin cups ¾ full. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

Note: this is not a very sweet muffin, nice with jam. Maybe try putting spices and apple in a sweeter muffin base.
