Method:

1. Grease twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl combine the flour, cheese, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

3. In a small bowl combine egg, milk, and cooking oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in apple.

4. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full.

5. Bake in a 400°C oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

6. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
