Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced small)
• 0.75 cups Walnuts (chopped)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cups of milk, 0.5 cups of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the 1.5 cups of diced apples and 0.75 cups of chopped walnuts gently using a rubber spatula.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the 0.25 cups of cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
