Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats

1 cup apples, finely chopped

2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

3/4 cup milk

12 to 15 thin slices unpeeled red apples

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions:

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beat well after each addition. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir into shortening mixture. Stir in oats, apples, cheese, and pecans; mix well. Add milk gradually, stirring only to moisten other ingredients.

Fill well-greased muffin pan two-thirds full. Dip apple slices first in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Press one slice into batter in each muffin cup. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon-sugar. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.
