1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening or butter
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated apple (about one medium sized apple). … may substitute applesauce
Coating:
1/2 cup butter melted (can use less if you’d prefer to drizzle some over the top of each muffin)

1. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar into a medium bowl.
2. Cut in the shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Drop into well-greased muffin pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
