Directions

Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy.

Add the milk, oil, and sugar to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, quick oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened; do not overmix.
-
Fold in the chopped apple pieces and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
Storage: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave.
Variations: For a healthier twist, substitute half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Tips: To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom, toss the chopped apples in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter. Use a sharp knife to dice apples into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.
