These are easy to make, Nice apple flavor. Great with a big glass of cold milk, or a cup of hot coffee or tea. You can cut the recipe in half if you want.

How To Make tender apple and walnut muffins

Step 1

Cream butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, add the beaten eggs and beat until well combined. add the vanilla and apple extract to the milk

Step 2

add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture alternating with milk. beat until well combined, fold in the chopped apples and walnuts.
Step 3

Fill greased or cup cake paper lined muffin cups, about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon ( I use about 2 teaspoons on each)
Step 4

Bake in pre heated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
Step 5

After Muffins have cooled completely I drizzle mine with powder sugar that I have mixed with a little cream and apple extract just thin enough to drizzle but it firms up after sitting for a few minutes
