Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line 6 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners. If using regular size muffin tins, prepare about 10 of the cups.
- Begin melting the butter in a saucepan. When it's about halfway melted, add the apples and cook the apples and butter together for about a minute or until the butter is completely melted and apples are soft. Let cool briefly, then stir in the raisins, oil, egg, vanilla and yogurt (or sour cream).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, spices both sugars and oats. Make sure everything is very evenly mixed. Add the pecans.
- Add the apple mixture to the flour mixture and stir until evenly blended.
- Divide between the muffin pans. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until the muffins appear done and the internal temp is around 200-205. They will not rise high, but the tops should round just slightly. These are supposed to be dense and moist. Be sure to let them cool.
