How to Make Apple Toasted Pecan Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup toasted pecan halves.
- Fill muffin cups about ½ full.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For extra crispy edges, bake for a few minutes longer.
- 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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
