How to Make Moist Apple Bread Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples and ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans).
  7. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  8. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the muffins.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
