Ingredients:
 
1 1/2 cups wheat Bran
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 medium macintosh Apple, cored, peeled, & cut into 12 slices
1 cup Raisins
 
Directions:
 
Preheat oven to 375*F. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners.

Place raisins & apple slices in heat-proof bowl. Pour enough boiling water to just cover fruit. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Seperate apple slices from raisins. Set aside.
 
In a large bowl, mix wheat bran and buttermilk together & let stand for 10 minutes.
 
In a medium bowl, beat together oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Add to bran mixture.
 
In another medium bowl (sorry for the all the washing up), sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, & salt. Stir this mixture into bran mixture until just combined. Fold in raisins.
 
Fill each liner half way with muffin batter. Place one apple slice on each muffin. Add more batter on top till each cup is full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpcik inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool. Store in an airtight container.
