1-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. plus 2 T. sugar, divided
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c. milk
1 t. vanilla extract
1/4 c. oil
1/3 c. apple butter
1/3 c. chopped pecans

Combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large mixing bowl; set aside. Blend egg, milk, vanilla and oil together; mix into flour mixture. Spoon about one tablespoon batter into each paper-lined muffin cup; add one teaspoon apple butter. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with remaining batter; set aside. Toss pecans with remaining sugar; sprinkle evenly on tops of muffins. Bake at 400 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the center removes clean, about 20 minutes. Makes one dozen.
