Preheat oven to 425F. Line muffin tray with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine bran and milk; let rest for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and nutmeg.
Stir brown sugar, oil and egg into the bran mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Add in the chopped apples and mix until combined. Add in walnuts, cranberries or raisins if using and stir to combine.
Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin tray. If you are using the topping, mix the everything together and sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the muffin batter.
Put the filled muffin tray into the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 400F. Bake for ~18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with only a little bit of dry crumbs.
Let muffin rest in the tray for about 5 minutes then take it out and let cool completely on a wire rack. Best served warm.
