Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with cooking spray or line cups with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Beat 1 ¼ cups sugar, ½ butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk 1 ¾ cups flour, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together in a separate bowl; stir into sugar mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined. Fold in apples and walnuts until evenly distributed. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

    Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if tops start to brown too quickly. Remove muffins from tin; cool on a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Apple Walnut Muffins

  • Choose Your Apples Wisely: For a balance of sweet and tart, use apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji. If you prefer a tarter muffin, Granny Smith apples are an excellent choice.
  • Nutty Alternatives: Not a fan of walnuts? Feel free to substitute with pecans or even a mix of your favorite nuts for a different twist on these delicious homemade apple muffins.
  • Spice it Up: For an even warmer flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the muffin batter alongside the cinnamon.
  • Serving Suggestions: These Jumbo Apple Walnut Muffins with crumble topping are fantastic on their own, but a smear of butter or a drizzle of honey can take them to the next level.

Get ready to impress your family and friends with these magnificent muffins. They're sure to become a beloved staple in your breakfast rotation!
