Chunky Whole Wheat Apple Muffins

1½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cu peeled, chopped baking apples

½ cup whole wheat flour

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup skim milk

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 egg whites, lightly beaten

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup golden raisins

Preheat oven to 400*F. Line a muffin pan with papers or coat with a nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine ½ cup flour and the apple in a small bowl, tossing to coat; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; make a well in the center of the mixture. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oil and egg whites; stir well. Add the milk mixture, apple mixture, pecans and raisins to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool in pan.
