Oh so good!

Thank you so much for stopping in. Have you ever seen such a precious baby? Well this young man is Remington, my 10 month old grandson. I am sharing a recipe with you today. Now I am not saying that if you try this recipe you will get a handsome grandson, but a wonderful recipe makes me want to show off my grandson.
I wish I could remember where I found the recipe! It is a Caramel apple spice cupcake. But it is so moist it needs no frosting and I have made them as muffins. My only issue with the frosting is it was very sticky! But then Caramel is sticky! Sorry no pictures of the cupcakes/muffins. I just forget to take the pictures.

Caramel Apple Spice Cupcakes
Ingredients:

•1 box spice cake mix

•2 eggs

•2 tsp. vanilla extract

•1 tsp. cinnamon

•½ cup oil

•2 Granny Smith apples cut into ½" pieces, skins on
Method:
Mix together cake mix, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and oil. Batter will be thick. Add apples and beat for 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Batter will thin out somewhat. Pour batter into paper liners and fill ¾ full. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Frost once cooled.
Caramel Cream Frosting
•4 Tbsp. butter

•¼ cup brown sugar

•¼ cup dark brown sugar

•2-3 Tbsp. whole milk

•1 cup powdered sugar

•1 tsp. vanilla extract
Place butter and brown sugars in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir and cook the mixture until it comes to a boil. Add milk and bring the mixture back to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly before frosting. Frosting will harden when cooled completely.
Try these, you will love em!
It would be great if you would leave me a comment letting me know you were here. You could tell me how handsome my grandson is. You could tell me about your grandchildren. Thanks for stopping in~
