    Caramel Apple Muffins

    Sep 26, 2021 · 1 Comment

    These caramel apple muffins stay moist for up to a week, which is insane. They have a caramel in the center and are made with whole wheat flour... so you can't even feel bad if you, you know, ate it for breakfast! 😉

    Moist Caramel Apple Muffins

    What do you need for these caramel apple muffins?

    • Apples
    • Butter
    • Brown Sugar
    • Milk
    • Egg
    • Whole Wheat Flour
    • Baking Soda
    • Vinegar
    • Cinnamon
    • Salt
    • Caramel Squares

    How do these muffins stay moist so long?

    These muffins only have one egg in them which is what usually dries things out in baking!

    I don't have caramel!

    Look, these are honestly the best muffins ever BEFORE you put the caramel in. So don't walk about if you don't have caramel.

    Hot Tip

    I usually just put caramel in the number of muffins I know we will eat right away while the caramel is hot and gooey. The unfortunate part about using caramel squares is that when the muffins cool completely the caramel does too and its still good but its not ooey gooey!

    Credit: This recipe is based off of Nagi's Super Stay moist apple muffins. I added Caramel, use salted butter instead of unsalted and Vanilla Extract. I also bake at 375 for 22 mins instead of her method of switching the oven temperature and baking for 20 minutes You can check out her recipe here.
