upside-down caramel apple muffins by nyt cooking

I love a muffin with a surprise. Flip these muffins over to reveal the caramelized apples.

ingredients

• 3 apples about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick

• ½ cup dark brown sugar

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

• Pinch kosher salt

• ½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted optional

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• ¾ cup dark brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

• ¾ cup sour cream

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Would I make these again?

Eh, probably not. These were not as impressive as I thought they would be. With the massive amounts of butter used, I expected moist muffins.
