Apples are boring, unless you do something fabulous with them.  Here's a nice recipe for Whole Wheat Apple Muffins that isn't too bad on the calories; while being tasty and satisfying.

1c whole wheat flour
1/4c sugar
2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1c lowfat milk
1/4oil
1 egg beaten
1c chopped golden delicious apples
1/2 chopped nuts

Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and allspice in a large bowl.  Add milk, oil and egg; stir only until ingredients are blended.   Fold in apples and nuts.  Preheat over to 440F.  Grease 12 muffin cups (or you can use PAM) and pour in batter until almost full.  Bake about 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
