2 medium apples

1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 F Grease twelve 2 1/2" by 1 3/4" muffin pan

In large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt. In small bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix buttermilk,
oil, vanilla, and eggs until blended. Stir buttermilk mixture into
