Apple Bran Muffins
Ready In: 45 mins
Serves: 24
Yields: 2 dozen muffins
Ingredients
- 2 large golden delicious apples, peeled and chopped
- 1⁄2 cup butter, cubed
- 3 cups all-bran cereal
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a skillet, saute apples in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Combine cereal and water in a large bowl; stir in buttermilk, eggs, sugar, raisins and apples with butter. Combine dry ingredients; stir into apple mixture just until moistened. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container for at least 24 hours (batter will be very thick). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Yield: about 24 standard-size muffins. Editor's Note: Batter can be stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
