Waking up to the smell of apple muffins will start your family’s day off right. Cream cheese filling makes them moist and tender, and oats and nuts in the topping add crunch.—Connie Boll, Chilton, Wisconsin

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups finely chopped peeled apples

OOOhhhh!!!! And the calories for a little itty bitty muffin are...well...disgraceful!!!

I am horrified at the nutrition info. The fat, cholesterol, and sodium contents are terrible for a little muffin. Could you knock off a little baking powder, substitute low- or fat-free cream cheese, and cut back on the brown sugar some? I don't even know if that would help any though. Not sure I'll even make these due to the nutrition problems.

This muffin was definitely very moist, but the taste wasn't anything out of the ordinary. And considering the extra work of both a filling AND a topping, my expectation was to be wowed. For the amount of work involved, I did not care for this muffin.
