 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cream the shortening and sugar together


 and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine


 the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, mix


 lightly. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the shortening mixture. In


 this order, add the oats cheddar and pecans, mixing well after each

 just moistened. Grease the muffin pans and fill each cup 2/3rds full of


 batter.  Dip the apple slices in the melted butter and then into the


 cinnamon-sugar.  Press 1 apple slice into the top of each muffin. Sprinkle


 lightly with cinnamon-sugar and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven,
