I chopped the apples a little more coarsely in order to hold the caramels in place. I followed the tips of the other reviewers (though I did not use foil muffin cups) and these muffins turned out great, and I even live at altitude. I will be making these for the neighbors for Christmas...Yum!

I like the taste of this muffin. Wish I had read all the reviews first. My topping all sank to the bottom and you need to scrape the muffin off of the paper. My husband hates that!!!! Unfortunately I bought enough caramels so my 4H kids can make them; will see how that goes. I will not make these again.

After reading all the comments below I followed your suggestions and they turned out PERFECT. I'm so excited over this recipe and they were fun to make for my playgroup moms and kids

These are delicious! I modified the recipes based on previous comments, using foil muffin liners, 2tbsp of butter instead of 3tbsp for the topping, doubled the apples, and I also substituted one of the cups of flour for whole wheat flour instead. I also spooned half the batter at a time, and dropped a caramel in before putting the rest of the batter on top.

These are great, IF you do not cut the caramels too small. I did as other reviewers suggested and divided the caramels into four pieces and filled the muffin cups with half the batter, placed the caramels inside, and topped with the rest of the batter. They melted really well and were a yummy gooey surprise in the muffins. My boyfriend took some to work for breakfast and his boss walked in the room and could smell them. They were 24 hours old at this point! He had to share and now everyone there thinks I am a great cook and he is so lucky! I always save baked goods in a metal tin with a tight fitting lid. They seem to stay very fresh and moist this way!

One of the best muffins I have ever tasted/made!!! Will definitely be a favorite in our family.

Next time I plan on trying out the other suggestions for the topping since only half managed to stay on without melting off. But aside from that the muffins are delicious.

These had a nice flavor. Next time I will use more apples and skip the topping. The topping melted right through the muffin leaving a big hole in each one. I also only cut the carmaels in 1/2 and it worked quite well. I made 12 muffins and put the rest in a single mini loaf pan. I think I like it as a loaf more than a muffin.

I made this before a family photo shot and everyone loved them. I made some mini ones as well as some reg. sized muffins. As I was running late I also found cutting up the caramels time consuming and would leave them bigger next time - maybe add more apples as well. the topping was too sticky and would modify as suggested in other reviews but these are a keeper. Even my husband who is not a big "dessert" person liked them.
