APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Apple Bran Muffins image

This is a nice change from a plain bran muffin. It's somewhat healthier, because it's made with yogurt. I always double the cinnamon sugar on top (personal preference). Sometimes I add some chopped pecans (or walnuts). Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you - these come together fast.
