Equipment
- cupcake tin
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 Granny Smith Apples peeled and shredded
- 1 ½ cups caramels
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a cupcake pan with baking liners (I was able to get 15 cupcakes from this recipe).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Grate your apples to ensure you'll get apple with every bite of caramel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar and granulated sugars until smooth.
- Whisk in the oil and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture until just combined; stir in the apples.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan until almost full. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- In a small, microwavable bowl, combine the caramels and cream. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one until caramel is melted and smooth.
- Dip cupcakes upside down into caramel and let cool. Top with toppings (if desired) and stick a popsicle stick in the center of the cupcake for additional decor (completely optional).
