On Saturday, while the younger 2 and I enjoyed the morning at Daniel's Den (Note: a playground designed/hosted by Manor Brethren in Christ Church with the concerns of those with special needs in mind. Thank-you!), Theresa & the twins produced

• 2 apple crumbles
• a double batch of apple oat muffins
• ~10 quarts of apple sauce

Thank-you to the kitchen crew!  I had part of a muffin with most every meal since and can't wait to dig into a new season of apple sauce.

For those with interest in the recipe Theresa uses for Apple-Spice Oat Muffins ...

Heat oven to 400.  Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. 
Combine

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. pumpkin pie spice

In a medium bowl whisk together

1 c. fat-free buttermilk
1 egg
1 c. peeled, chopped apples
1/2 c. chopped dried apples
1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 T. canola oil
1 t. vanilla

Stir into flour mixture just until incorporated (batter will be lumpy). Fill muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with 1 T. oats plus 1 t. sugar.  Bake 18-20 min.
