Tips:

Use fresh, ripe apricots. This will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If fresh apricots are not available, you can use frozen apricots that have been thawed and drained.
Chop the apricots into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
Toast the walnuts. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
