Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the salt.

In a medium bowl, beat together the egg and milk. Stir in chopped apple and melted butter. Add all at once to flour mixture; stir just until mixed (batter will be very stiff).

Spoon into a greased muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Mix chopped nuts, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to make topping; sprinkle evenly over muffins.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve warm.
