How to Make Apple Almond Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup almond flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 ½ cups peeled and chopped apples and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  7. For the optional crunch topping: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon rolled oats. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
