Apple Bran Muffins

Homemade applesauce:
1 apple, cored and diced
1/4 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 tbsp cinnamon

Combine ingredients in a saucepan and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and mushy. Using a fork, mash the apples into sauce. For smoother applesauce, peel the apples before cooking.
