Blend dry ingredients together in a bowl.  In a separate bowl; combine egg, begetable oil and milk.  Add dry ingredients to egg mixture and stir until just blended.  Fold in apples and nuts.  Batter will be thick.  Fill well greased muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake @ 400 degreees F for 18-20 minutes or until top springs back when touched. 
Yields: 12 muffins

Fried Ice Cream

Turn your freezer to its highest setting @ least 4 hrs before you start the process.  During the process, open and close the freezer quickly. However, I never remember this part and I turn my freezer up as I start.  Always works  for me this way too.

You will need:  ice cream, chopped nuts, 1 egg, graham cracker crumbs, and plenty of oil for frying.

1. Form ice cream into as many balls as you want and place on cookie sheet in freezer : 10 min.

2. Remove and roll the balls in chopped nuts, pressing them in with your hands, freeze 30 min.

3.  Remove and Roll in beaten eggs, then graham crackers.  Freeze 2 + hours (If you desire a thick crust, repeat this step after only freezing for 30 min. and then freeze for 2 + hours).

4.  Right before serving, heat oil to 375 degres.  Fry one at a time for about 2 min.

5.  Serve with carmel and chocolate sauce if desired, It is pretty tasty just plain though.
