Apple Oat Bran Muffins...

1 medium tart apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/4 cups white flour
1 cup oat bran
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. unsweetened prepared applesauce
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg white
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line ten muffin cups with cupcake papers.

In a small bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oat bran, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, milk, sugar, egg white, raisins, and the apple slices with lemon juice. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and mix well.

Spoon the batter into muffin cups and bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of muffins comes out clean.
