Well, look who actually got a Food Friday on a Friday. It's a miracle of sorts. And have I ever got a good recipe for you - Caramel Apple Cupcakes. Yessirree, this was one of the birthday boy's desserts and it was yummy! Hope you like it as much as we did!
Sidenote: When I took some of these to the folks at the radio station on Monday I put them in individual clear bags*, wrote "Happy Fall" on the stick and tied it up with raffia. It made a great festive little treat!
* I keep a supply of small and large corsage bags from the local wholesale florist company for wrapping up my food goodies for giving. They are perfect for such and so much cheaper than the treat bags you buy at the party stores. There is your tip for today . . . no charge. :)
Also, this recipe says it makes 12. I used regular size muffin pans and I got 18 cupcakes.
Caramel Apple Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 box caramel, carrot or spice cake mix (I use caramel)
Ingredients to prepare cake mix
2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
20 caramels
3 Tbsp. milk
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
12 popsicle sticks
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepared cake batter according to package directions; fold in apples.
3. Fill 12 greased or paper-lined jumbo muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. In a saucepan, cook the caramels and milk over low heat until smooth. Spread over cupcakes. Sprinkle with pecans.
5. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each cupcake.
