• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-cup muffin pan with paper baking cups. Add flaxseed meal and cider to small bowl; mix briefly. Let sit 5-10 min to allow meal to absorb cider.

• Step 2

  Add oats, 1/2 cup apples, raisins, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to large bowl; stir to combine. Set aside.

• Step 3

  Combine applesauce, almondmilk, oil, and syrup in separate bowl. Add applesauce mixture and flax mixture to oat mixture. Fold ingredients together until evenly mixed and liquid almost absorbed. Spoon batter evenly into baking cups, filling almost to top of cups. Top evenly with remaining apples; press gently into oat batter.

• Step 4

  Bake 28-32 min until tops are lightly browned and toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Remove from pans; let cool to room temp.

• Optional: add in 1/4 cup Wegmans Pecan Pieces to oat mixture in step 2 and top muffins evenly with additional 1/4 cup pecans before baking. • To serve hot, remove paper liners from muffins and warm in 350 degree oven.
