PUMPKIN CARAMEL CUPCAKES
Not only do kids love to eat these cupcakes, they can help bake them, too. To make things even easier for them, we got the idea to dunk them in premade caramel apple dip instead of using frosting. -Donna Schaab, Belleville, Illinois

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place Reynolds Baking Cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.

- For frosting, in large bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.
- Fit round tip (opening about 1/4 inch in diameter) in decorating bag. Spoon dulce de leche into bag. Insert tip in center of 1 cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upwards until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. (Reserve remaining dulce de leche in decorating bag to decorate tops.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all cupcake ingredients in a mixing bowl with 1/3 cup of water. Whip with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes until well blended.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with baking cups. Evenly spoon batter into muffin cups.
- Place pan in the oven and cook for about 12 minutes (until cupcakes have puffed up but still appear a little gooey on top).
- Once cupcakes are cool enough to handle, arrange them closely on a plate so that the edges are touching. Place caramel and soymilk in a tall microwave-safe glass or dish (mixture will bubble and rise when heated).
- Microwave at medium power for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir mixture vigorously until smooth and thoroughly blended. (Return to microwave for 30 seconds at medium heat if caramel has not fully melted.) Immediately drizzle caramel sauce over cupcakes.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scooping out the flesh and blending it until smooth.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- To make sure your cupcakes are evenly baked, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.
- For a richer caramel frosting, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin caramel cupcakes are the perfect fall treat. They are moist and flavorful, with a rich caramel frosting that is to die for. Whether you are making them for a Halloween party or just because you love pumpkin, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
