  1/4cup butter, softened

  1/3 cup sugar

  2 tablespoons brown sugar

  1/2 cup milk

  1-1/2 cups flour

  2 teaspoons baking powder

  1/2 teaspoon salt

  1/4 cup flaked coconut

  GLAZE:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until well mixed. Beat in egg. Stir in milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the apple, pecans and coconut.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over muffins while slightly warm. Serve warm. Yield: 12 muffins.
