Use Granny Smith if you like firm, tart apples, or Golden Delicious if you like sweeter apples. Both are very good in this recipe.
This recipe is egg free, but some feel it is better with 1 egg added for better texture.

Servings
12 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 apples 1½ to 1¾ pounds, peeled, cored and halved
- 4½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1½ cups chopped walnuts toasted
- 2 cups canola oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease standard muffin pans with butter, vegetable shortening, or cooking spray.
- Chop or dice apples coarsely, into ¼-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Stir in apples and nuts, coating them with flour mixture. Add oil, and mix vigorously with a large wooden spoon, until completely blended. Batter will be very stiff and chunky, like a dough.
- Scoop ⅓-cup of batter (a measuring cup works well for this) into your hands. Pat quickly into irregular balls, and place in prepared muffin pans.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, until muffins are golden brown with dry tops, and spring back when pressed gently.
- Cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then place on a cooling rack. Once completely cool, freeze, or store at room temperature in a sealed container for up to two days.

Wow, I am so sorry. This recipe is from 2010 and from an outside source, we have a mix of our own, Jamie’s and other team members and outside recipes especially some of the old ones. But it is not supposed to have eggs, so I don’t know why it came out so bad. Did it stick together? Can you share anything more specific?
WE have other apple muffins recipes but I don’t know if the problem is the recipe or something you may have done.
Still I recommend you try another recipe and I will see if I can test this one and figure out the problem.

Hi,
I love your website and your cookbooks You are my go to choice for recipes
I have to ask you though, are there no eggs in this recipe? I read the recipe twice and then tried to make these as in the recipe and they taste like dust. Have I done something wrong?
