Apple Muffins with Walnut Crumb

Massive Apple Muffins with Activated Walnut & Cinnamon Crumble

Making full use of the seasons local apple harvest I made these quite large apple muffins (the bigger the better!) and topped them with a crumble made from activated walnuts gifted by @2die4livefoods_europe a little unrefined sugar and cinnamon from @seasonedpioneers

My favourite nut by far, walnuts are reportedly a great prebiotic aiding gut health by feeding the gut microbiome. Walnuts also contain calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, folate, zinc, copper, selenium, vitamin C, and niacin. In an activated form, these nutrients are more easily digested.
