• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
• 2 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.5 cup milk

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup walnuts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat top and insides of jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with muffin papers.

Step 2

To make the muffins: Beat 1 ¼ cups sugar, 1/2 cup butter, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at time. Combine 1 ¾ cups of flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; stir into butter mixture, alternately with milk, until just combined. Fold in apples and walnuts. Scoop into muffin cups to fill 3/4 full.

Step 3

To make cinnamon crumble: Combine 1/4 cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cubed butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a medium bowl; mix together using a pastry blender or two butter knives until crumbly. Lightly sprinkle the tops of muffins with cinnamon crumble.

Step 4

Bake muffins in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. If they are browning too quickly, cover with foil. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
