How to Make Apple Muffins With Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup (140g) peeled and diced apples and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the muffins are baking, prepare the caramel sauce:
  10. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, 2 tablespoons (30g) butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  11. Whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. Serve warm muffins drizzled generously with the caramel sauce.
