Very yummy apple muffins. The caramel gives the muffins a slightly gooey consistency that is wonderful - if you love caramel. Granny Smith apples work well with this recipe but any type of apple will do. You can always add a dash of cinnamon if you're a cinnamon lover. Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 egg |
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 2/3 cups caramels |
1 large apple |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
Directions:
1. Cream sugar and butter together. Add egg and mix well. Set aside for now.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with creamed mixture while also adding the milk. Mix in vanilla.
3. Grate one apple using a carrot grater, avoiding the core. Mix in most of the grated apple into the batter. Set aside a small amount of shredded apple, approximately 1/8 cup, for later use.
4. Grease the muffin pan. Fill 12 muffin tins 2/3 full of the muffin batter.
5. Melt caramel and drizzle 1 spoonful of caramel into the center of each muffin. Cover muffins with remaining batter.
6. Make Streusel: Mix all of the ingredients for the streusel together in a bowl. Make sure streusel is thoroughly mixed.
7. Sprinkle the top of muffins with streusel mixture. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of caramel right in the middle of each muffin top. Then sprinkle more shredded apple and streusel on top.
8. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
