Caramel Apple Pie Cupcakes

Directions

• Step one

  Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.

   

• Step two

  In large bowl, using handheld electric mixer on low speed, beat cake mix, eggs, 250 mL water and oil until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.

• Step three

  Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes in their paper liners to wire rack to cool completely.

• Step four

  Using spoon, scoop a shallow circular divot from top of each cupcake, leaving a 5-mm border around edge. Divide apple pie filling evenly among divots.

• Step five

  In medium bowl, stir together frosting and caramel sauce. Transfer mixture to piping bag fitted with desired tip. Pipe frosting across apples to form a lattice, and around the edges to form “crust.”
