Apple + a stick + caramel = Fall

However, I found a recipe for apple cupcakes and one for caramel butter cream and married the two.

Perfection.

I usually cheat and use a boxed mix, but Betty & Duncan can eat their hearts out.

These apple cupcakes from scratch are SO easy.

{I suppose you could use a spice cake mix and just add a chopped Granny Smith, too.}

The butter cream uses caramel ice cream topping and can be whipped up in no time.

Next time I’ll make my own caramel, though.

Here are E & H delivering these tasty morsels and singing “Happy Birthday” to Gramma…
