How to Make Big Ol Apple Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the apples and walnuts (if using).
  7. Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer 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.
