I tweaked this apple pecan muffin recipe to make a cake and I liked it but I would like to have more pecans. Like maybe 1 cup ground and another half cup plus rough chopped and toasted?. Also it fell in dramatically in the middle. Apple-Honey-Pecan Muffins I think I made a basic cake and just threw in the honey apples and the pecans Maybe I should adapt something like: French Apple Cake This is an adaptation of the muffin recipe, but not what i did Grind in food processor to a fine meal ⅔ cup (75 g) pecans then toast in a dry pan until aeromatic wipe out pan and add 2 Tbsp butter 2 pealed, cored chopped firm apples (Pink lady, etc) drizzle with 2 Tbsp Honey and cook until apples have softened and are glazed with honey Whisk together the pecans from above along with 1 1/4 cup (100 g) all-purpose flour 1½ tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. kosher salt beat together 2 large eggs, room temperature ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
