Print Options
Description
These muffins have chunks of apples, toasted walnuts, and a bit of apple pie-flavored cream cheese running through them. The perfect autumn treat!
Ingredients
- 1-¾ cup Flour
- ½ cups Sugar
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- 1-½ cup Peeled, Chopped Apples (about 1 1/2 Apples)
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
- ¼ cups Butter, Softened
- ½ whole Apple, Grated
- ⅔ cups Milk
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 dash Cinnamon
- 1 dash Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- ½ cups Toasted Walnuts, Chopped
- FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
- 3 Tablespoons Flour
- ¼ cups Sugar
- ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ⅛ cups Toasted Walnuts, Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fold in apple pieces.
2. Using a mixer, combine cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add grated apple, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until combined, but cream cheese is still chunky.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add cream cheese mixture. Add walnuts. Stir until just combined.
4. Put liners in about 8 jumbo muffin cups. Fill muffin cups ¾ full, and fill empty muffin cups with water.
5. Combine streusel ingredients in a small bowl using a pastry blender. Top muffins with streusel topping.
6. Bake about 25 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool on rack.

YUM! These are fantastic! I had to make a few modifications – I only had 4 oz of cream cheese, so that’s all I used. I also left out the walnuts and I made them in regular sized muffin cups, since I don’t have a jumbo pan. The end result was still WONDERFUL!
