Gooey Caramel Apple Buttermilk Muffins Recipe


Description

Hello, dear food enthusiasts! Welcome back to another delicious recipe adventure. Today, we’re diving into a sweet, gooey treat that’s perfect for any occasion – Gooey Caramel Apple Buttermilk Muffins. These muffins are the perfect combination of tart apples, rich caramel, and tender buttermilk-infused batter. Let’s get started!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans gently.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Drizzle the cooled muffins with caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is melted and cooled to prevent curdling the eggs.
  • Use fresh Granny Smith apples for the best tart flavor that balances the sweetness.
  • Gently fold the ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can make the muffins dense.
