- 12 Crimson Apples
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 4-6 drops red food coloring
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs one a a time beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
- In a separate medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add a third of the flour to the butter mixture alternate with buttermilk. Mix well after each addition. Pour into prepared cupcake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire baking rack.
- CARAMEL ICING
- Combine butter, brown sugar and cream in a small saucepan. Over medium heat bring to a boil, stirring constantly ensuring the sugar melts and none is on the bottom of the saucepan. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. On low speed beat in sifted powdered sugar until smooth. Dip each cupcake into the batter and let set.
- CANDY APPLES
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place clean mini apple on top and set aside.
- In a small saucepan add sugar, corn syrup and water and cook over medium heat (watch so it closely so it doesn't boil over pan) until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees (not more than 310). Remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Using a spear or small pliers (protect your fingers and hands!) dip each apple into the hot candy. Place back on baking sheet and let harden. Place on cupcake or eat plain.
Notes
- Insert popsicle sticks (12) into half of the cupcakes for a caramel apple look!
