Apple Muffins

Makes 12 muffins.

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
8 packets Sweet 'N Low® granulated sugar substitute
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup skim milk
¼ cup melted shortening
1 cup minced apples (about 2 medium)

Sift flour, Sweet 'N Low, baking powder, salt, and spices into mixing bowl. Combine egg, milk, and shortening; add to dry ingredients; blend until flour is moistened. Do not overmix; batter should be lumpy. Fold in minced apples.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line muffin pan or custard cups with paper baking cups (soufflé cups); pour batter in 2/3 full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. If baking cups are not used, grease the muffin pans.
