Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Nutmeg
• ¹⁄₂ cup Butter
• ³⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 cup Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• ¹⁄₄ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the chopped apples.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the muffins are baking, prepare the caramel glaze by combining the brown sugar and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Drizzle the caramel glaze over the cooled muffins. Serve and enjoy!
