Ingredients for Apple Cranberry Walnut Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

How to Make Apple Cranberry Walnut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples, 1 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
