Ingredients

• 3 bakings apples , peeled and sliced
• 0.5 cups packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cups butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. 2 Make apple base: Stir apples, brown sugar, butter, and salt together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and syrupy, about 30 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Divide mixture among the prepared muffin cups and set aside.
3. 3 Make batter: Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Make a small well in the center and set aside.
4. 4 Whisk melted butter, applesauce, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour into the well in flour mixture and mix until just combined; batter should be lumpy. Pour batter over apple mixture in the muffin cups.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each muffin, then carefully flip the tin onto a serving platter. Serve hot.
