1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 3/4 cup grated apple
1 cup all-purpose whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 oF (200 oC).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil and sugar. Beat in egg, then apples.
3. In another large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
4. Fold dry ingredients into wet, until just mixed.
5. Grease muffin tray. Spoon batter to the very top of muffin cups.
