This recipe was the result of a woman harriedly trying to come up with something to feed her child(ren) as quickly as possible this morning and ending up scoring bigtime in the flavor department!   Thank goodness for this one little apple, as it was the sole source of fruit in my kitchen, and therefore, the quick inspiration for the muffins.  This is a small recipe, but perfectly and precisely enough for 6 regular-sized muffins to feed your family for breakfast.  I recommend not making more of these babies (unless of course you have a big family) or you will end up eating them ALL and your idea of having a healthy little muffin for breakfast will fly right out the kitchen window!

At first I was worried these might turn out dry as I didn't add in any milk, buttermilk or sour cream, but the apples did a fine job of making them incredibly moist.  I almost felt like I was eating a slice of decadent apple spice cake instead of a whole wheat oatmeal muffin!
