  • Servings: Approximately 14 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease muffin tins or line them with paper liners.

  2. Prepare the Muffin Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.

  3. Add Flavorful Elements: Stir in the boiling water and baking soda until well incorporated. Then, fold in the vanilla extract, diced apple, walnuts, and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  6. Prepare the Sauce: While the muffins are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and flour. Gradually add the boiling water, stirring constantly. Then, add the butter and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the muffins are baked and the sauce is thickened, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve the warm sauce over the muffins, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
