Apple & Granola Breakfast Muffins

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and like a muffin for breakfast then these Apple & Granola Muffins could be for you. They are not overly sweet and have lovely soft pieces of Bramley apple in, which you may want to substitute with sweeter eating apple if you have a really sweet tooth.

I topped them with a little granola which was packed with nuts and seeds.
