Low Fat Apple Bran Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: Jenny Wong PHOTO BY: ABS140

"I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time."
