--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          flour
     3/4  cup           brown sugar
   1 1/2  teaspoons     baking powder
     1/4  teaspoon      baking soda
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      cinnamon
     1/2  teaspoon      ginger
     3/4  cup           apple butter
     1/2  cup           butter or margarine, melted and cooled
     1/4  cup           skim milk 
   2                    eggs, lightly beaten
   3      tablespoons   honey
   1      teaspoon      vanilla
     1/2  cup           raisins  (optional)


Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (the first 7 ingredients) 
and make a well in the center.
In smaller bowl, combine wet ingredients (the next 6 ingredients).
Pour wet mixture into the "well" of the dry ingredients and stir just to
combine (10-15 strokes).  Fold in raisins with as few strokes as possible.

Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups (if you don't use muffin liners, spray
the pan with cooking spray). 

Bake 20-25 minutes, until cake tester comes out clean.  Remove muffin tin
to cooling rack and cool 5 mins. before removing muffins from tin. (Do
*not* let muffins cool completely in the tin.)
