        Hi Maria, you can use coconut oil in the same amount for the muffins, but for the caramel sauce, you should use butter.

      Quick question.. do these need to go in the fridge? Or can they be left out in a ziploc bag?

        Debbie, Thank you for your kind words. I would store them in the fridge, and they can be reheated before serving.

        Thank you so Much Kelly! My Mom used to make a jello strawberry and cream cheese layered dessert like the one you speak of. I forgot all about that recipe! Thanks for the great suggestion. I will add to the idea list.

      I used to love caramel apples when I was a kid, but I remember how hard it was to bite into them lol! Love that these muffins have the same great taste, but with only 97 calories each!

      I've been wanting to try a muffin recipe that uses apple sauce and this is definitely the one! It's not easy to find one that does not have a major amount of carbs.
      Apple and caramel is just the perfect combination. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to make it
