Recipe of the day: Apple muffins

The muffins can be served for breakfast or as a teatime snack.


These apple muffins combine wheat bran flour, apples and dried cranberries.

Leave the apple skin on when preparing them, as it contains fibre and vitamin C, as well as boron and pectin.

The muffins can be served for breakfast or as a teatime snack and stored in an airtight container for three to four days.
