Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts.
Baking
  1. Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Finishing Touch
  1. Generously drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the cooled muffins.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your muffins warm, paired perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
