How to Make Apple Raisin Walnut Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
3. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for 1 minute until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
5. Gently fold in 1 cup diced apples, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
