Apple cinnamon muffins with a toffee topping

After trying those muffins one of my friends said that apple and cinnamon is one of his favorite flavors... I totally agree. I loved this small little bites, they are soft, fluffy and so aromatic, my kitchen was smelling wonderful and hours after the muffins were already gone ;)

Ingredients:

For the muffins:

• 60g butter, melted
• 1 apple
• 1 grated apple
• 250g flour 
• 1 egg, light beaten 
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder 
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 
• 1 spoon lemon juice
• 70 g soft light brown sugar 
• 150ml buttermilk

For the sticky toffee:

• 50ml heavy cream
• 50g soft light brown sugar
• 20g butter

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon and grated apple. Add buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Mix until just combined, but doesn't have to be too precise. With a spoon scoop evenly into the prepared cupcake liners. Remember to fill the muffin cases only 3/4 cavity otherwise they might overflow. The remained apple cut in thin slices approx. 3-5 millimeters, place on a plate, sprinkle with lemon juice and a spoon of sugar and put all in the microwave for 20seconds. The slices are now crispy so wouldn't allow you to form nice roses but if you put them into the microwave then they will become soft and easy to roll. Take each slice and roll together and place in the middle of your muffin. If you are not good with manuals then just put some slices of apple on the top of your muffin. The result will be exactly as delicious. Bake your muffins approx. 20 minutes. 

For the toffee topping: In a pan whisk together sugar, butter an the heavy cream, wait until it starts boiling then on a low heat and constantly mixing keep boiling it for another 3-5min. Then sprinkle your toffee topping over your cooled muffins and ...... bite in!!!!
