    Dulce de Leche Apple Muffins with dulce de leche being drizzled on
    Dulce De Leche Apple Muffin on an orange white and blue plate

    A few weeks ago I made these muffins, then these. So I had the  muffin itch again, I tend to get like that with baking. And I had a jar of dulce de leche starring at me so dulce de leche apple muffins were born. Moist, chock full of apples, swirled dulce de leche in the batter and a dulce de leche glaze? What more can you ask for for breakfast?  Not much in my book. Okay maybe chocolate 🙂

    Now as I am off to Newport Beach for the day, I really wish I had a few of these muffins for breakfast. Or maybe my bikini is happy. Beach season is here and with a cruise around the Mediterranean in a few months I best stop eating so many dulce de leche muffins for breakfast. Oh the horror.

      Apples and caramel (dulce de leche) are meant for each other! Great flavors packed into these lovely little muffins!

      A cruise sounds like such a nice summer vacation! Enjoy! These muffins look great! Didn't you say you aren't typically a muffin person? You sure make the best looking and sounding muffins for not a muffin person 🙂
