Upside-Down Caramel Apple Muffins image

I've made these a couple different times and they have been an absolute hit - like a there-were-none-left hit. Soft and tender apples covered in a caramel glaze are the stars of this show! Haven't tried it yet, but vanilla ice cream probably wouldn't be a bad idea!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 baking apples, peeled and sliced
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 pinch salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon apple pie spice
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, melted
¾ cup applesauce
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir apples, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and syrupy, about 30 minutes. Stir in walnuts.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin; divide apple mixture among muffin cups.
  • Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a small well in the center and set aside.
  • Combine butter, applesauce, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the well in the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; batter should be lumpy. Pour batter over apple mixture in the muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each muffin. Carefully flip pan onto a serving platter; serve hot.
