Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup finely chopped apples
Caramel Frosting
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the chopped apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
- To make the caramel frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and heavy cream, and bring to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
- Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the caramel frosting.
