Instructions
Preheat oven to 400℉ and prepare a 12-cavitiy muffin tray (I recommend using a silicone muffin tray if available).
In a large mixing bowl whisk together applesauce, milk, maple syrup, and apple butter (if using). Add All Bran cereal, mix well and set aside for 5 minutes. This will allow the cereal to soften and absorb the liquid ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Once the cereal is softened, whisk in the egg, oil and vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix to combine.
Using a spatula, fold in the shredded apples. Be careful not to over mix (mix until JUST combined).
Use a large cookie scoop (or ¼ cup) to divide the batter amongst the 12 cavities in the muffin tray.
Bake at 400℉ for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Allow to cool.
