Ingredients for Apple Toasted Pecan Muffins

  • Flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • 1 cup toasted pecan halves

How to Make Apple Toasted Pecan Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour it.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup toasted pecan halves.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ½ full.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
