How to Make Apple Nut Buttermilk Cinnamon Topped Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
  5. Fold in the apples and nuts.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar + 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon).
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
