Best muffins EVER!!

Apple-cinnamon muffins
The best recipes are hand-me-down ones, they have been aprooved from soo many mouths, changed until perfection. I inhereted this recipe from Karen, who used to make batches and batches of them at their accomodation for morning breakfast and me batches and batches for Tarte Cafe. It absolutely is our favorite muffin recipe. A keeper!
 
Ingredients:
250gms (1cup) butter melted, 1 cup plain yoghurt, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda/natron
2 eggs, 4 cups of flour, 1 handfull of bran (optional), 2 teaspoons baking powder, milk,
1 cup stewed apple
2 cups chopped apple, 2 tablespoons sugar, ground cinnamon

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 180°C, grease muffin tray.
Mix melted butter, yoghurt and sugar in a bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda on top. Add the eggs. Add flour, bran (optional), baking powder, enough milk to make a soft dough. Add 1 cup of stewed apple for a wet mix. This is the basic recipe.
Everything you add from now on is for flavor. There are endless possibilities of flavors. Favorites at 
Tarte Cafe were: rasberry & white chocolate, banana & chocolate chip,
plum & cream cheese, blueberry, and apple/cinnamon. Create your own yummy mix.
We contiune with the apple/cinnamon one. 
Add the chopped apples into the dough mix, spoon into muffin tray ( I use the big ones) , mix sugar and cinnamon and spinkle each muffin top with this mix.
Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
