LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time.

Tips:
- Use ripe apples: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe, crisp apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Grate the apples finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
