McDonald's Apple McMuffins

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup skimmed or reconstituted - non-fat dry milk
• 1/2 small Carton Egg Beaters (= 1egg)
• 4 teaspoon non-fat plain yogurt*
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup apple; peel - grate
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cup self-rising flour

*Can use 1 teaspoon yogurt and 2 teaspoon applesauce for more moist muffins. Grease 12 muffin wells. Preheat oven to 400°. Combine all ingredients in medium mixing bowl using mixer on medium speed. When completely combined, stir in self-rising flour only until flour is completely moistened and dissolved. Do not over mix. You don't want to beat this like a cake batter or muffins will be heavy and maybe dry after baked. Divide batter equally among the 12 prepared muffin wells. Bake about 18-20 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Cool a few minutes before loosening and removing from muffin tins
