"I get a lot of requests for these. Try them warm with old cheddar. They freeze well, so don't be afraid of the large quantity this recipe yields."

Mix first six ingredients well in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Combine bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Add to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in apples and walnuts. Remember, overmixing makes tough muffins.
