These muffins are a delightful combination of tart cranberries, sweet apples, and crunchy walnuts, perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
Using liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release easily.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help ensure a lump-free batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smoother batter.
Fold in the chopped apple, fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries, and walnuts into the wet mixture.
Coating the fruits and nuts in a bit of flour can prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Filling each cup about three-quarters full ensures even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotating the pan halfway through baking can help ensure even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Allowing the muffins to cool prevents them from breaking apart when removed.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a comforting treat.
