Ingredients -

1 package Spice Cake Mix or Carrot Cake Mix 
2 cups chopped peeled Tart Apples 
20 Caramels (unwrapped) 
2 tablespoons Milk 
1/2 cup finely chopped Pecans, toasted 
12 wooden Popsicle Sticks

1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions; fold in apples.

2. Fill 12 greased or paper-lined jumbo muffin cups (Texas-size) three-fourths full.

3. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

5. In a saucepan, melt the caramels and milk over low heat until smooth.

8. Insert a wooden stick into the center of each cupcake.

 



Cupcake Making Tips -
Cake Flour

Cake flour contains 5 to 7 percent protein, has a silky texture and creates baked goods that are very tender. Sifting cake flour before using is a good idea since it clumps easily due to its fine milling.

Apple Season

Apple season begins in late summer and continues through November. To store apples, wrap in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator.
