2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon

Set aside. Add apples to the egg mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients mixture by spoonfuls until well combined. Mix in raisins and walnuts at the end. Line muffin trays with muffin holders. Fill each cup with batter almost until the top. Bake 25 - 30 minutes until tester in center comes out clean and muffins are light brown on top. Muffins fall slightly after they cool down.
