I absolutely love Fall treats! I have always been a lover of caramel apples and turning them into cupcakes!? Yum!
In fact, when I used to teach dance I made caramel apple cupcakes for my students around the Fall season and they absolutely loved them! You can easily create this recipe with a few store-bought ingredients. One of the reasons, I love this super easy treat is the smell!! We live in Florida and the smell of Fall filled our entire house which makes me super excited. Without a doubt, these caramel apple cupcakes are the perfect treat for any Fall festival or party.
