• cooking spray
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cups butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat the top and insides of a jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

2. 2

   Beat sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir into egg mixture, alternately with milk, until just combined. Fold in apples and walnuts until evenly distributed. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin pan, about 3/4 full.

3. 3

   Make crumble: Combine sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix using a pastry blender or 2 butter knives until crumbly. Lightly sprinkle over batter.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if the tops start to brown too quickly. Remove muffins from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
