Apple Cupcake Pupcakes

Ingredients

1 large apple 

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour  

1/4 cup oatmeal  

2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda  

1/2 cup plain yogurt  

1/2 cup water  

1/4 cup vegetable oil  

2 tablespoons honey  

2 eggs  

1 cup grated cheddar cheese 

Frosting:

1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel Cheese 

(low fat cream cheese), room temperature  

2 tablespoons plain yogurt  

2 tablespoons honey  

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
• Core, slice and mince apple. Set aside. In a large bowl.
• Mix together flour, oatmeal, baking powder and baking soda. In a medium bowl, blend together yogurt, water, oil, honey and eggs, and then stir in the apple and cheese. Add to the flour mixture and stir until mixed. 
• Spoon batter into greased mini muffin  tins; fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let rest in the muffin tins for a few minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.  

Frosting directions: 

Combine Neufchatel cheese (at room temperature), honey, and yogurt until smooth. 

Spread on muffins. Makes about three dozen mini muffins. 

If you prefer to make a single-layer cake instead, spoon the batter into a sheet pan and bake for an extra 10 minutes. Decorate with chopped pecans, shredded carrot or miniature dog bones for special occasions.
