"This recipe dates back to when our two girls - now 15 and 12 - were in preschool and it was my turn to bring a snack for the class. My husband especially asks for the muffins in winter. Crafts and reading are my hobbies. -Nancy Brown, Klamath Falls, Oregon"

ingredients

2 large golden delicious apples, peeled and chopped
¹⁄₂ cup butter, cubed
3 cups all-bran cereal
1 cup boiling water
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
²⁄₃ cup sugar
1 cup raisins
2 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cloves
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt

directions

In a skillet, saute apples in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Combine cereal and water in a large bowl; stir in buttermilk, eggs, sugar, raisins and apples with butter. Combine dry ingredients; stir into apple mixture just until moistened. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container for at least 24 hours (batter will be very thick). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Yield: about 24 standard-size muffins. Editor's Note: Batter can be stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
