These look a bit lumpy but they are good eats:)  These are also all that are left of the 28 I made of this recipe.  Made 24 more applesauce muffins for a total of 52!!  I knew they would get eaten but that fast!!  aaahhhh  :)

2c. chopped apples (I slice w/ apple slicer/corer, cut each piece in half and cut into bowl.  I don't peel them either)

1c. sugar

1 1/2c. flour

1tsp. soda

1/2tsp. salt

1/2c. oil

1 egg, beaten

1tsp. vanilla

1/2c. nuts (I like walnuts)

1/2c. coconut

Mix apples and sugar.  Let stand until juice forms.  Soft in dry mixture (flour, soda and salt).  Add remaining ingredients.  Bake in a greased and floured 8x8 pan or muffin tins at 350 degrees for 30 mins.  As given by my grandmother (Hazel Dean).  I made these today.  :)  When I doubled the recipe I got 28 muffins.
