GOOEY CARAMEL APPLE MUFFINS

Gooey Caramel Apple Muffins image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

Cream sugar and butter together. Add egg and mix well. Set aside for now.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with creamed mixture while also adding the milk. Mix in vanilla.
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.
Grease the muffin pan. Fill 12 muffin tins 2/3 full of the muffin batter.
Melt caramel and drizzle 1 spoonful of caramel into the center of each muffin. Cover muffins with remaining batter.
Make Streusel: Mix all of the ingredients for the streusel together in a bowl. Make sure streusel is thoroughly mixed.
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.
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
