How to Make Apple And Pecan Muffins Gluten Free Or Not

  3. Gently fold in the diced apples until just coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: [See ingredient list for specific amounts]
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Top each muffin with a pecan half and a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
