Vanilla essence: Think of it as the harmonious melody that brings all the flavors together. A dash of vanilla creates a comforting aroma making your kitchen smell like a bakery.

Salt: A pinch, yet important. It acts as a flavor enhancer making all the other ingredients sing louder and sweeter.

Eggs: They are the binding force that holds our muffin world together. They provide structure and richness resulting in every bite being perfectly tender.

Plain flour: The cornerstone of our muffin creation. It grants them their body and soft cake-like texture.

Baking powder: This tiny agent is what makes our muffins rise to perfection – literally! It adds that delightful fluffiness, to every bite.

Ground cinnamon: This isn’t just any spice; it’s the heart and soul of our recipe. These muffins have a touch of warmth and spice giving them a taste that reminds you of autumn with every bite.

Apples: Let’s not forget about the apples, the unsung heroes of our muffins. They bring sweetness, and a crunch and transform each bite into a heavenly experience.

Walnuts: To add that element of crunchiness we have walnuts. These nuts provide a depth to each muffin making them absolutely irresistible.

Cinnamon Crumble Topping: Lastly the cinnamon crumble topping takes these muffins to another level. It’s a combination of sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon that bakes into a crispy and crumbly topping. This creates the contrast, against the softness of the muffin itself.

Tip:

Jumbo Apple-Walnut Muffins

When choosing apples to use in your muffins go for varieties that maintain their shape and have a balance, between tangy flavors. Some great options include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Fuji apples. These apple types not only add a texture contrast to the soft muffin but also contribute to a more sophisticated and nuanced flavor profile.

Before adding the apples to your batter lightly coat them with a bit of lemon juice. This not only prevents them from turning brown. Also adds a subtle and refreshing kick to your muffins. It’s a step that can make a difference ensuring that each muffin bursts, with fresh apple flavor that perfectly complements the richness of the walnuts and the comforting warmth of cinnamon.

      Hi Pam! Thanks for catching that! The correct amount of flour for the Jumbo Apple-Walnut Muffins is indeed 1 ¾ cups as listed in the ingredients. In the instructions, it should also mention adding all of the 1 ¾ cups of flour (not just 1 cup). I’ll make sure to update it for clarity. Appreciate you pointing this out, and hope you enjoy the muffins!
