Apple Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup oats, uncooked (old fashioned or quick)
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/3 cup apple juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg, beaten
1 cup apple, peeled, & chopped (about 1 medium sized apple)

Heat oven to 400F and grease or line 12 muffin cups. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the chopped apple, mixing just until moistened (do not over mix!). Gently fold in the apples. Fill cups 2/3 full. Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown

***I left the peel on because it gives the muffins an extra crunch and I used Granny Smith Apples.
