Its the time of year I always used to dread as a child as the last few days of the holidays were numbered and it was time to run all the errands that are associated with going back to school. Now as a parent it is just as hectic without the benefit of being able to sleep late and play in the sunshine before the back to school chaos (and traffic) begins.

The original recipe lists cake flour so I substituted half a cup of wheat bran to make it a bit more filling. It also stated to peel and chop the apples but I find that all the fibre in apples can be found in the skin and it seems a shame to waste it. I also find when you chop apples (and many other fruits) into chunks when making muffins, it doesn’t seem to bake around the fruit properly and you are left with the dreaded undercooked batter no matter how long you leave it in the oven for.
