REFRIGERATOR APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
I made these at the request of my oldest granddaughter who likes healthy food. Even though these may be put in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, you may bake them all at once and freeze them. They are so moist and good. Very healthy as they are lower in fat than some and eggs whites are used in place of the whole eggs. They make about 24 muffins.

Meet the Cook: This recipe dates back to when our two girls - now 15 and 12 - were in preschool and it was my turn to bring a snack for the class. My husband especially asks for the muffins in winter. Crafts and reading are my hobbies. -Nancy Brown, Klamath Falls, Oregon

Tips:
- Use ripe apples. This will give your muffins a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Shred your apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a finer shred that will blend well into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
- Fill your muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will give the muffins room to rise.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
- Enjoy your muffins warm or at room temperature. They're also great toasted.
