Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, saute the apples, brown sugar and cinnamon for about 5 minutes over medium heat. The apples should begin to soften and caramelize slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Stir together flours, oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Add in the applesauce, vegetable oil, and cider or milk. Stir until just moistened. Fold in chopped apple. Fill muffin cups ¾ full.

Step 4

Bake for about 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
