  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The muffins should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help the muffins to set and makes them easier to handle.
  • Enjoy the muffins fresh: Apple walnut muffins are best eaten fresh. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the muffins overnight in the refrigerator or microwave them on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
