Fragrant apple muffins, perfect for breakfast

In a spacious bowl, rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until they resemble fine crumbs. This step will give the cupcakes a delicate texture.

Finely chop the pecans and mix with a little sugar. This will add a pleasant sweetness and crunch to the cupcakes.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients.

Peeled apples, grate on a coarse grater and mix with cream, egg and milk. Then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and quickly mix until smooth. If the dough is too dry, add a little milk.

Divide the dough into cupcake liners that have been pre-greased with vegetable oil. Fill the liners about 2/3 full to leave room for the dough to rise.

Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven until fully cooked. A few minutes before the end of baking, sprinkle them with a nut mixture for a beautiful crust and extra flavor.
