Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

Make the muffins: Whisk flour, bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Whisk milk, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a separate bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined. Gently stir in apples. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full.

Step 4

Make the streusel: Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle about 1 heaping teaspoon on top of each muffin.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
