Today I am sharing my recipe for apple bran muffins.
My inspiration comes from using the flashfood app and getting deals on dried apple slices for more than half off. I was going to make some apple hand pies with them, but since I still have extra containers of it and the expiry is way off from now, I’ll do those later.
The flashfood app is available in the app store. You can save much on foods in your local area.
If you are new to using it and want a $5 off referral code, you can use mine below if you like. I don’t mind. Hopefully they are up and running in your area. They are expanding so keep an eye peeled if they aren’t yet.

Yum! I’m looking for heartier muffins to send in the guys lunchboxes and these look perfect!
I downloaded the app but sadly there are no participating stores closer than 1600+ miles away. Perhaps it will expand. 🤷♀️ Meanwhile, your muffins with the rehydrated dried apples look great, Sue!
I really like the texture of dried apples. Much better than using fresh chopped or applesauce.
What a great use for dried apples, which I always seem to have a small bag of. Can’t wait to try them in a gorgeous muffin like this one!
Great minds Sue. Love the addition of dried apples to these muffins.
I need to go look up dried apples. Sounds like a good thing to keep around for an easy addition to baked goods.
I have some dried apples and would love to try this recipe.
