Directions

Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (204ðC).

Add the chopped apples, corn, and shredded cheddar to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
-
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and corn oil together.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined; do not overbeat as the batter will be stiff.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the center of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
