How to Make Apple Caramel Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly, then pour it into the wet ingredients and stir gently to combine.
  5. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples and ½ cup caramel candies (chopped). Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
