Steps:
- Grease three standard 12 cup muffin tins. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place oven rack in the center position.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, quick oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and cardamom. Whisk until well sifted. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the 4 eggs. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and grated apples. Stir until combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk mixture to the well and stir until moistened. Do not beat. Batter will be very thick. Once moistened, gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Divide the batter between the 36 prepared muffin cups. Cups should be 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. If you aren't able to get a full 3 dozen out of the batter, don't worry. Just fill the empty cups halfway with water.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 - 25 minutes (rotating half way through), or until done and golden on top.
- Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in their tins before removing to cook on a wire rack.

Tips:
- Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to measure your ingredients carefully. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and a liquid measuring cup for wet ingredients.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your muffins will taste. Choose fresh, ripe apples, plump cranberries, and crunchy walnuts.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, making the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin tins evenly: Use a large cookie scoop or a spoon to fill the muffin tins evenly. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your muffin tins and the oven you're using. Keep an eye on the muffins and remove them from the oven as soon as they're done.
Conclusion:
These apple oat muffins with cranberries and walnuts are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They're packed with wholesome ingredients and have a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
