Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
Mix-Ins
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk and vegetable oil, stirring until blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples and caramel sauce until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  2. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top of each muffin.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins can be enjoyed warm, drizzled with additional caramel sauce or paired with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to three months.
