Apple Spice Muffins make morning coffee even better! Topped with a dreamy caramel glaze, these moist muffins have hints of cinnamon and are packed with apples.
In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice and almond extract. Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cloves. Mix until combined. Fold in apples.
Fill paper lined muffin cups to half full. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove and cool.
For the frosting, in a medium saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter and 1/4 cup milk (4Tbsp). Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 2 full minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool 15 minutes.
Whisk in the powdered sugar and remaining milk until smooth. Spread on cooled muffins. ENJOY!
Notes
Apples- choose apples such as Honeycrisp or granny smith for best flavor
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
Freeze muffins before adding glaze, then make the caramel glaze fresh while the apple spice muffins thaw.
