Apple Muffins

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups sifted flour (I use part whole wheat flour)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c raisins or fresh diced cranberries or fresh raspberries or craisens
1 1/2 cup diced apples (tart like Granny Smith)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

In a large bowl beat oil and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and beat one minute. Add dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Stir in apples, craisens and nuts. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups and bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on rack. Serve warm or cool and store in airtight container. Muffins freeze well. Yield about 12 muffins.
