Directions

  1. Stir apples, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and syrupy, about 30 minutes. Stir in walnuts.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin, divide apple mixture among muffin cups.

  3. Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a small well in the center and set aside.

  4. Combine butter, applesauce, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the well in the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, batter should be lumpy. Pour batter over apple mixture in the muffin cups.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each muffin. Carefully flip pan onto a serving platter, serve hot.

Recipe Note

I've made these a couple different times and they have been an absolute hit - like a there-were-none-left hit. Soft and tender apples covered in a caramel glaze are the stars of this show! Haven't tried it yet, but vanilla ice cream probably wouldn't be a bad idea!
