Yield: 15 servings
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
⅔ cup granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon cardamom
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup, plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
2 eggs
-
½ cup milk
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 medium apples, chopped
-
⅔ cup pecan pieces
-
¼ cup dark brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Grease or line a standard muffin tin with baking cups. (This recipe makes 15 muffins, so you can either bake the last 3 after the first batch or use two muffin tins.)
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined into a thick batter and no streaks of flour remain.
-
Fold in the chopped apples and pecans.
-
In another small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until it forms a dark, crumbly paste. Add the paste to the muffin batter and use a spatula to lightly swirl it through the batter.
-
Divide the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top.
-
Bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to test for doneness (there shouldn't be wet batter on the toothpick). Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
