Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp frozen thawed apple juice concentrate
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp oat bran
  • 2 small Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts about 1 1/3 ounces
  • 1 small Granny Smith apple peeled, cored and cut into 12 thin slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Grease 12 standard size muffin-pan cups or line with paper liners.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Mix together eggs, apple juice, and buttermilk.
  • Stir flour mixture and oat bran into egg mixture until dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix. Gently stir in chopped apples and nuts.
  • Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups 2/3 full. Garnish each muffin with an apple slice.
  • Bake until lightly golden and tops spring back when pressed, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Turn muffins out onto rack to cool completely.

Notes

Instead of frozen apple juice concentrate, try other bottled fruit juice concentrates.
