Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1 apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
4 Tbsp. (1/4 c.) butter, melted
1/3 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1/4 c. packed brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat a 12 c. muffin tin with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and the salt.

In a medium bowl, beat together the egg and milk.  Stir in chopped apple and melted butter.  Add all at once to flour mixture; stir just until mixed (batter will be very stiff).

Spoon into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.  Mix chopped nuts, brown sugar and remaining cinnamon to topping; sprinkle over muffins.

Bake 15-20 minutes.  Remove from pan immediately and serve warm.
