Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 170C Bake. Line a muffin tin with paper cases or grease well.
  2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Stir through the oats, sugar, salt and spices.
  3. Peel the apples and cut into rough ½ inch chunks. Stir into the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs gently, then pour in the oil and milk. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. You want a thick but wet batter so if the mixture is too dry, add the additional measure of milk.
  6. Carefully spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cases to fill each about a third of the way up the case.
  7. Stir the salt through the caramel. Then using a teaspoon, spoon a large dollop of salted caramel or dolce de leche on top of the muffin batter. Then carefully top each with the remaining muffin batter until the batter fills the muffin cases.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden and the centre springs back when touched gently. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
These apple pie muffins are delectable still warm from the oven. If you can wait, the spice and apple flavour intensifies overnight and the muffins will taste wonderful the next day. They store well in an airtight container for a few days, and also freeze well.
