Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 apples peeled and shredded (use medium-sized apples)
- 11 oz caramel bits
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Gradually add to flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the shredded apples.
- Spoon the batter into baking liners until three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-28 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers come out clean. Let cool completely.
- In a small microwavable bowl, combine caramels and milk. Microwave for one minute. Stir and repeat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle caramel topping over the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
- Replace the caramel with Salted Caramel Sauce for extra salty flavor!
- Be sure to pat the shredded apples dry before adding them to the batter in order to avoid cupcakes that are too moist.
- Replace half of the vegetable oil with an equal amount of butter, if desired.
