But if you see batter in the knife then bake the muffins for more duration. Muffins are little uncooked, so bake for 4 more minutes and check again. Muffins have turned golden brown in color. It takes 24 minutes to bake the muffins.
Let the muffins cool down and then separate them from the tray. Sprinkle some powdered sugar-cardamom mix over these muffins to garnish. Mouth drooling apple nut muffins are ready. Relish eating them for 3 to 4 days.
