Apple Butter Muffins  Ingredients:       2 cups  flour    3/4 cup  brown sugar       1 1/2 teaspoon  baking powder    1/4 teaspoon baking soda       1/2 teaspoon  salt    1 teaspoon  cinnamon       1/2 teaspoon  ginger    3/4 cup apple butter       1/2 cup  applesauce    1/4 cup  skim milk       2  eggs, lightly beaten    3 tablespoons honey       1 teaspoon  vanilla    1/2 cup  raisins or nuts (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400degrees F. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (the first 7 ingredients) and make a well in the center. In smaller bowl, combine wet ingredients (the next 6 ingredients). Pour wet mixture into the "well" of the dry ingredients and stir just to combine (10-15 strokes). Fold in raisins with as few strokes as possible. Spoon batter into muffin cups (if you don't use muffin liners, spray the pan with cooking spray). Bake 20-25 minutes, until cake tester comes out clean. Remove muffin tin to cooling rack and cool 5 minutes before removing muffins from tin (Do *not* let muffins cool completely in the tin).
