Oatmeal Apple Muffins

Barb: I like to put the nuts on top of the raw batter. That way, they get nice and toasty during the baking. Yum!

1 egg 
3/4 C milk or Silk Pure Almond  
1/3 C Coconut Palm Sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
1 apple, pealed and chopped
3/4 C raisins or dried cranberries
