1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

2 eggs
1 cup plus 2 Tb. sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 cups diced peeled apples
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
3/4 cup flaked coconut

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.

In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar and oil.

Stir in apples, nuts and coconut.

Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fill 18 greased muffin cups three-fourths full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
