Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Drizzle a generous teaspoon of caramel sauce over the top of each muffin, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the caramel into the batter.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these delicious Caramel Apple Muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the sweet and cozy flavors of fall!
