- Place cupcake liners inside a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add diced apples and walnuts, tossing to coat. Whisk together eggs, yogurt, butter and Calvados (if using) in a small bowl. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t over mix or muffins will be tough. Divide batter among muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle a little of the mixture over the top of each muffin.
- Bake until muffins are brown around edges and spring back when touched, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove muffin pan to a rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, turn out muffins onto the wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze in a plastic container for longer storage.
