Made for busy mornings. Super sweet, juicy KIKU® apples keep these muffins moist while walnuts add a satisfying crunch, for a warm breakfast or an easy snack on the go.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 cups KIKU® apples, cored and chopped
¾ cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
6 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup walnuts, chopped, divided
1 KIKU® apple, cored and thinly sliced
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine chopped apples and sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a medium bowl, mix eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the apple mixture and ½ cup walnuts.
Fill muffin cups three-fourths full. Top each with 2 apple slices and the remaining walnuts. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
