Caramel Apple Muffins

Ingredients:
1 box Duncan Hines Caramel Cake mix
1½ cups unsweetened apple sauce
2 egg whites
½ cup water
1 small apple, finely diced
1 cup oatmeal, uncooked

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together in an electric mixer.  Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Pour into 24 silicone baking cups or prepared muffin tin with papers. 

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
Use toothpick test to check for doneness.

Special Information:
When using silicone baking cups there is no need to use papers.  However, I do spray the inside of the cups with butter flavored nonstick cooking spray so that they brown a little bit more.  For added sweetness you can sprinkle a small amount of sugar over each muffin, using no more than 1 Tbsp for all 24 muffins.  Again, lightly spray the cooked muffins with butter flavored nonstick cooking spray so that the sugar will stick.  This will not increase the POINTS value of the muffins.  Or, you can use the new caramel flavored Splenda the same way.
