Let the fall-themed recipe fun continue!  These naughty-ish muffins were a huge hit here this week.  You just can't go wrong when pairing apples with caramel.  Especially this time of year.

Caramel Apple Muffins

(adapted from Taste of Home)

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup wheat flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

2 1/2-3 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

1 cup skim milk

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 tsp. vanilla

1-2 apples, peeled and diced

1 bag Kraft Caramel Bits (in the baking aisle)

Topping:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup oats

2 T butter, melted

1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350º.  In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.  Combine wet ingredients in a smaller bowl and add to dry.  Stir until just moistened.  Add in caramel bits and diced apples.  Fill greased muffin cups about 3/4 full and sprinkle with topping.  Bake for 20-22 minutes.  Serve warm.  Makes 12 muffins.

NOTE:  These muffins are best when the caramel is soft.  Microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating.
