Bourbon apple cupcakes filled with bourbon caramel and topped with cinnamon ginger whipped cream cheese frosting. Recipe adapted from Brown Eyed Baker Autumn is finally here! And I am so excited, because the flavors of fall are my absolute favorite! I love pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, and of course bourbon! I recently made a bourbon apple pie for my dad's birthday and was excited to keep experimenting with the flavors. Apple cider and whiskey seem to be two ingredients in many popular fall cocktails. And while, this cupcake isn't based on one specifically, it combines those two flavors to create a cupcake that tastes like autumn! I found Brown Eyed Baker's recipe for a great apple cupcake, but adapted it. I added just a pinch of cardamon (one of my favorite spices) and made it tipsy too! And if you have seen or made any of my other cupcakes, you know I love to fill my cupcakes with something yummy. And since caramel apples is another popular treat for this season, I figured the addition of caramel would be perfect! Enjoy these cupcakes for halloween parties, fall birthdays, or just because and they will be a hit! [ INGREDIENTS ]

Caramel apple is the most popular treat at our city's harvest season. Every year, our city holds a harvest season festival. There are a lot of outsiders who go to our town just to experience this amazing cultural fair. To be honest, I am very proud of what our city was able to accomplish. Having other people enjoy the things that we enjoy just really fills my heart. I am very excited for this year's harvest season festival, I hope you guys can come too.

Step 6 in your bourbon carmel sauce instructions state "Slowly add the rum" Thought you would want to know and edit this to say bourbon not rum.
