Apple Cinnamon Muffins with Walnut Crunch Topping

Hi fellow foodies! It’s a cold day in Texas and a perfect day for some fresh, hot muffins straight from the oven. I don’t post enough muffin recipes on here and I realized that we need a good muffin recipe for a breakfast meal. They never go to waste at my house because my 5 year old loves muffins. He’s super picky about food in general but he loves all flavors of muffins, sweet or savory.

Today, I am sharing my delicious recipe for muffins flavored with apples and cinnamon and topping with a crunchy walnut and brown sugar topping. Oh drool! These bad boys are awesome sauce! Put a little pat of butter on these and bam! Kitchen magic happens!

These would be great with a cup of coffee or a big glass of chocolate milk. Either way, they are a great way to start your morning or afternoon (if you are a teenager). Try these on this holiday weekend; you won’t be disappointed.

Until next time!
