Is this recipe for breakfast or dessert? Who cares! Either way, Apple Cider Muffins with Walnuts and Warm Caramel Sauce Drizzle are whatever you want them to be because they’re that delicious.
As mentioned before, I’m not a from scratch baker. So I doctored up these muffins made from Martha White Apple Cider package mix with bits of fresh red apple, walnuts, and caramel sauce. Semi-homemade recipe cooks should feel any shame in their style of cooking because it’s practical and easy to do when you’re short on time.
Why make basic muffins when you can pull out all the stops and add seasonal baking ingredients to them? Have fun and try these topping swaps as well: butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips, crunchy peanut butter and sliced apple, oatmeal crumble topping or cream cheese vanilla frosting with almond slices. Don’t forget a warm cup of coffee to enjoy them with too.
