Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
5 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
5 1/2 tablespoons caramel topping
3 egg whites
1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup oat bran
6 tablespoons flax seeds (ground)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups finely chopped apples (bitter)
1/2 cup chopped soft caramel, rolled in flour to prevent sticking together

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat oil, apple sauce, sour cream, sugar, and caramel topping until well blended. Mix in egg whites (can be subbed for 1 egg+one white) until the mixture thickens slightly.
Mix flours, oat bran, flax seed, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl.
Add dry mixture to wet and stir just until blended. Gently fold in apples and optional chopped caramels into batter.
Evenly distribute the batter into muffin cups that have been coated well with cooking spray. Sprinkle tops with additional brown sugar.
Bake for about 13-17 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
