Things To Grab
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside.
- In a large skillet, stir together apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter and dash salt. Cook over medium-high heat for 30 minutes or until sauce is syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally. Stir in walnuts. Divide among prepared muffin cups; set aside.
- Meanwhile, for muffins, in a large bowl whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, baking soda and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Make a well in center; set aside.
- Place remaining 3/4 cup butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir in applesauce, buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
- Spoon batter over apple mixture in muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center of cakes comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Slice a knife along edges of muffin cups. Invert muffin pan onto a serving platter.
