Apple Muffins

Adapted from Allrecipes
Makes 30 muffins

Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 T baking powder
1 T cinnamon
1 t salt
1 1/2 cups apple juice
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 egg
3 cups apples--peeled, cored, and finely diced

To make topping mix:
1 cup instant oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
and 1/2 cup melted butter

Directions:
1.  Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Grease bottoms only of muffin cups or line with baking cups.
2.  In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; mix well.  In a small bowl, combine apple juice, oil, and egg; blend well.  Add dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be lumpy).  Stir in chopped apples.
3.  Fill cups 2/3 full.  Sprinkle with topping, generously (I had leftover topping).  Bake for 18 minutes.  Cool 1 minuted before removing from pan.  Serve warm.

*These must have been good.  I made them before my scouts came over for den meeting--I'm pretty sure than both the scouts and each of my children had 2 or 3 a piece, if not more.  Yummy.
