- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a small bowl – flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to combine and set the bowl aside.
- Combine the sugars and all of the liquids to a medium bowl – sugar, melted butter, milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined – about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until no more flour can be seen. Cover the batter and let it rest on the countertop for 30 minutes.
- While the batter is resting, peel, core and chop the apple(s) into ¼-inch pieces (1 cup is needed for the batter/ 18 pieces (3 per muffin) is needed for the tops of the muffins) and roughly chop the walnuts.
- Prep a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan by lining each cup with a large paper liner or make your own with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Add the chopped apple pieces (1 cup) and the roughly chopped walnuts (¾ cup) to the batter, gently folding them in until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter among the 6 jumbo cups – about a heaping ¼ cup of batter per cup. Place 3 pieces each of chopped apple and walnut to the top of each muffin.
- Bake the muffins at 425F for 8 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature (do not open the oven door) to 375F and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes. The tops should be starting to brown and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Once out of the oven, let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack. The muffins can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Prepare the cinnamon glaze by combining the powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm or room temperature muffins and serve.
- Store the muffins at room temperature in an airtight container. The are best served the same day.
Notes
One medium or 2 small apples should be enough. Peel, core and chop the apple(s) into 1/4-inch pieces. I have used Cosmic Apples and Pink Lady Apples for this recipe; Honey Crisp or Granny Smith would also work well.
