Yet another recipe I sure do love is the Caramel Apple Cupcake from Icing on the Cupcake! Definitely one of their bests. In my recreation, I used a Caramel Apple Spice Bread Mix, from Sweet Seasons.

You have your usual ingredients for the cupcakes, but you will need a few other things for the scrumptious Cream Cheese Frosting and Caramel Drizzle.

First, you need 2 8oz packages of cream cheese, 1/2 Cup of Un-Salted Butter, & 1 Tsp of Vanilla.
Cream together the cream cheese and butter, then add the tsp of vanilla. Once that is mixed up add 2 Cups of Confectioners Sugar. Then, WuhhLa.

I had to make a second batch of the Caramel Drizzle because I hadn't read through the directions, which turned into a mess of butter and cream. With 1 Cup of Sugar, 6 Tbsp of Butter, and 1/2 Heavy Whipping Cream.

On Medium-High heat, heat up the sugar and continue stirring until it is completely melted with an amber color. Then immediately add the butter. Once those are mixed together, remove from heat and count to three, then add the cream.
The longer you wait to use the Caramel, the thicker the substance will be.

Drizzle the top and Enjoy!
