SPICED APPLE CUPCAKES WITH SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM
These cupcakes contain all the flavors of a caramel-dipped apple with the loving touch of apple pie spices and salted caramel. These cupcakes are moist with tender pieces of apple nestled inside, then topped with a velvety salted caramel buttercream frosting. Decadent, delightful and definitely worth sharing the calories with your friends and family!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin pans with cupcake liners.
- In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. Then whisk in oil, milk and vanilla.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and beat at medium speed until combined.
- Fold in chopped apples.
- Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake for 18-19 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or cakes bounce back when pressed lightly.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare your caramel buttercream.
- In saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. With a wooden spoon, stir in brown sugar and continue to stir until dissolved. Then stir in heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Once mixture reaches a slow, rolling boil, cook for 5-7 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Once cooled to a manageable temperature, transfer to a mixing bowl.
- With an electric mixer, gradually beat in confectioner's sugar until mixture is smooth and velvety. If necessary, use a little more or less to reach the desired consistency.
- Frost cupcakes using your desired method. I prefer to pipe it in a thick swirl, using a wide round tip or spreading with a flat spatula.
