Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease the 12-cup Surprise-filled Cupcake Pan or line with paper muffin liners.

Stir together 3 cups flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, salt, baking powder, and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Mix in oil, eggs, and milk. Fold in apples.

Stick a caramel candy square on the baking stick in each well. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top.

In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 cups flour, butter, and 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Mix together with a fork and sprinkle over the unbaked muffins.

Bake at 375°F for 20 — 25 minutes.
