Apples and cranberries, a classic American combination, fill these morning treats with nutrition and flavor.

Apple-Cranberry Muffins

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped peeled apple
3/4 cup chopped cranberries
1/4 cup raisins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray; set aside.
2. Combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt a large mixing bowl.
   In a separate bowl, combine sugar, egg, melted butter and vanilla; stir in apple, raisins, and cranberries. Fold into flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. Spoon into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
