Caramel Apple Muffins

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375*.

2. 2

   Begin adding in the flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, and salt. Then, mix in the milk, egg, vanilla, and apple cider. Let this mix well until the batter is formed.

3. 3

   Place square pieces of parchment over each muffin tin, shape to fit and spray with non stick spray. I usually put the parchment in and spray as well, it is not always necessary. Place 1 unwrapped caramel in each tin, we used 18 caramels to make 1 1/2 dozen. Then, pour the batter into each tin about a tablespoonful and make sure the caramel is covered. The tins should be about 1/2 way full.

4. 4

   Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Let completely cool before removing.

5. 5

   Note: The parchment helps the caramels not stick to the bottom of the muffin tin, same concept as the cookies.
