Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Chop apple and put into a mixing bowl. Add raisins. Measure out remaining ingredients. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Grease muffin cups and fill to 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tins. Makes 2 dozen muffins.

Hint: Instead of greasing muffin tins, use cupcake papers. That way you won't have to work so hard to scrub out your muffin tins.
