Time 35m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
3 teaspoons baking powder (slightly heaping)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter (no subs!)
1 large apple, peeled and diced
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 egg
2/3 cup half-and-half cream or 2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line 16 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt.
  • Cut in the butter with a pastry blender.
  • Measure out 1/4 cup to add to topping ingredients; set aside.
  • Add in the chopped apples and nuts to the flour mixture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and half and half cream, then add to the flour mixture; stir JUST until combined, mixture will be lumpy.
  • Spoon into muffin tins about 2/3 full.
  • To the reserved 1/4 cup butter mixture add in 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons brown sugar; toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle the topping mixture over each muffin.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for these muffins. If you only have access to store-bought apples, choose a firm variety such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them: This will help to ensure that the apples are evenly grated and that there are no large chunks of apple in the muffins.
  • Use a large grater to grate the apples: This will help to create thin, even shreds of apple that will distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

These cinnamon apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for fall when apples are in season. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy cinnamon streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
