HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
1 White cake mix
3 eggs
â…“ cup butter - melted
â…“ cup of heavy cream
1 Tablespoon of green food coloring gel (more if you'd like a brighter green)
1 teaspoon of Apple Extract
BUTTER CREAM FROSTING:
1 stick of butter - softened, not melted
½ cup of Crisco
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
4 - 5 cups of powdered sugar
¼ cup of heavy cream
24 Green apples
1 carton of Marzetti's Caramel Apple Dip
Easy Cupcake Recipe
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, mix the white cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and heavy cream until well blended.
Add the Apple Extract, the green food coloring gel, and blend it until it's well mixed, and you get the desired color of green.Â
Ladle the cupcake batter into the liners filling them ⅔ full. Bake your cupcakes at 350 degrees for 18 - 22 minutes.
Place the cupcakes on a wire rack to cool. And let's get the apples ready.
Start by washing the Apples and drying them with paper towels.Â
Cut the tops off the Apples, and dip them in the Marzetti's caramel Apple dip, place them on a parchment lined cookie sheets and put them in the freezer to set.
Marzetti's caramel apple dip can usually found in the Produce section close to the Apples. If you cannot find this brand of caramel apple dip, simply use another brand of caramel topping, but, make sure it's thick and not runny, because it won't stick to the apples if it's runny.Â
Cupcake Decorating Ideas
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, mix the softened butter and Crisco until smooth and creamy. Next, add in your vanilla and mix well.Â
Add half of the powdered sugar, and half of the heavy cream, and mix until well blended. Add the rest of the powdered sugar a little at a time, alternating with the remaining cream until all ingredients have been added.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, and blend again until smooth and creamy.
Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for one hour to chill the Frosting.
Amazing Caramel Apple Cupcakes
When the frosting is chilled, and the cupcakes are completely cool, place the frosting in a pastry bag with the large star tip, and starting on the outer edge, pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes swirling up to a point.
Remove the Apple tops from the freezer, and place an Apple top on the top of the frosting.

GREAT TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE
Don't throw away the apples you cut the tops off of. You can either slice them up and place them in a Ziploc bag, and refrigerate them to be dipped in caramel dip for a snack, or you can save them to make a pie, or Apple Crisp, or to be eaten with cheese. You can slice and freeze them if you need to use them at a later time, and if you're in a hurry, you can pull them from the freezer ready to use. I freeze mine tossed in sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon for a pie. If you don't have time to make pie crust, simply use already made from the dairy case, and when you add the fresh apples, it's semi-homemade and so delicious! You can also serve the baked pie with caramel dip and ice cream for a really great dessert!
