UPSIDE-DOWN CARAMEL-APPLE MUFFINS



Upside-Down Caramel-Apple Muffins image

I've never been much of a muffin maker. If I'm going to bake, I'd prefer to make a whole cake. But there is one kind of muffin that I heartily embrace - an upside-down fruit muffin. Its small, individual size encourages the fruit to condense and caramelize as it bakes. Then, when you unmold the muffin, the fruit transforms into a glistening crown of an irresistible sticky topping.

Apple-Cinnamon Upside-Down Cake image

You'll want firm but ripe apples that are sweet, such as Empire or Gala. With the cinnamon in this homey cake, they'll hit the spot. Take a few minutes to arrange the apple slices in neat circles on the bottom of the pan -- when the cake is baked and inverted, you'll find them decorating the top.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12
