Caramel Apple Spice Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
1/2 c. melted butter
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 c. milk
1 drop Cinnamon LorAnn Oil, optional
2-3 drops Butterscotch Flavor LorAnn Oil, optional
1 can Comstock apple pie filling
1 jar Smuckers Caramel Ice Cream Topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cupcake pans with paper liners.
Combine cake mix, cooled butter, milk, and essence oils, if using, and beat on medium speed for two minutes. Fill each cupcake liner half way with batter. Use two forks to place approximately one apple pie filling slice on top of batter in each cup. Use remaining batter to fill cups two-thirds full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until they test done. Remove immediately to wire rack to cool. Drizzle with caramel topping. Makes 26-28 cupcakes.
The LorAnn Oils are potent. A little goes a long way, but they take things to the next level of flavor. Around here, they're found in grocery and drug store pharmacy sections.
