2.Combine flour, bran cereal, brown sugar, and 1/2tsp cinnamon and stir to combine. Peel and grate one of the apples, then toss through the dry ingredients with the banana.

4.Slice remaining apple into thin slices. In a small bowl, combine remaining cinnamon and the sugar. Top each muffin with a slice of apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

5.Bake, 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool.
