UPSIDE-DOWN CARAMEL-APPLE MUFFINS
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin. 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir together the apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons butter and pinch salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Distribute the apple slices among the muffin cups. Add walnuts, if using, on top of the apple slices. 3. To make the muffins, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons butter, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until smooth. Distribute the batter on top of the apples. Bake until the muffins are slightly puffed, about 20 to 22 minutes. 5. Allow the muffins to cool partly in the pan; turn onto a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use frozen or canned apples, but they may not be as flavorful.
- Peel and core the apples before chopping them: This will make it easier to mix them into the batter. You can use a paring knife or an apple corer to peel and core the apples.
- Chop the apples into small pieces: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins. You can chop the apples by hand or use a food processor.
- Use melted butter: Melted butter will make the muffins more moist and flavorful. You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Mix the batter until just combined: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short period of time: This will help the muffins rise and brown evenly. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-22 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: This will allow them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Caramel apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The caramel sauce adds a decadent touch that makes these muffins irresistible. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, caramel apple muffins are sure to be a hit.
