Mom’s Apple Muffins

Mix in a large bowl:
1½ cups brown sugar
2/3 cups oil (I use canola)
1 egg

In a two-cup measuring cup:
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt, vanilla

Add milk mixture to sugar mixture alternating with 2½ cups of flour.

Fold in 1.5 cups diced apples and ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).

Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Will be crumbly - sprinkle over each cup with fingers.
(Kiy's Note: I don't do this every time, neither does Mom but it's SO good with this step!)

Note: Don’t fill cups too much, just a bit more than ½ full.

Bake @ 325° for 30 minutes.

Makes about 15 muffins

Note: Mom got this recipe while in the Tampa, Florida Airport in 1980.
