Apple Muffins

I am posting this recipe in search of some help. I made these muffins and they came out okay.  They are more of a coffee cake than a nice moist muffin (which is what I was looking for).  They were good but just did not hit the spot. Suggestions?  Do you have any good recipes for apple muffins??? This recipe is from Family Circle.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon  ( I used 2 tsp)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 tablespoons milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 cup diced peeled apple (I used an extra 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped ( I left out)

I topped my muffins with butter, cinnamon and sugar once they came out of the oven.




1. Heat oven to 375°F. Coat 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Beat eggs and sugar in medium-size bowl. Beat in milk and oil.

3. Make well in flour mixture. Add egg mixture. Stir until flour mixture is moistened and batter comes together. Add apple and nuts. Spoon rounded 1/4 cup batter into each cup.

4. Bake in 375°F oven 20 minutes, until toothpick tests clean. Cool in pan on rack 5 minutes. Turn out to cool.
