Make the muffins: In a large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and remaining 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour. Stir in the currants. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce, milk, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla until blended. Stir the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
