Servings: 12 large cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 Duncan Hines Signature Spice Cake Mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup oil
- 1 apple grated or shredded or 1 cup
- 1 cup raisins Optional
Topping
- 1 stick butter or 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 small apples
- Nuts I used pecans
Instructions
- Melt your butter and brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping either on top of the stove or in the microwave. I did mine in the microwave for about 1 minute. Set aside. Mis together the cake mix, eggs, milk and oil with a mixer. Fold in grated apple and raisins.
- Spray your cupcake pan with cooking spray. (I used a large six cup pan. You can try this in the 12 cup if you want) Put 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar and butter mixture in the bottom of each cup. Add about a tablespoon of chopped nuts and a couple slices of peeled apple.
- Fill the cup about half full with the cupcake mixture. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes checking for doneness as ovens vary. (If using 12 cup pan your time will be approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes.
- Remove by running a knife around the sides and lifting out of the pan. If some of the topping stays in the pan just put on top of the cupcakes. Makes 12 large cupcakes or should make about 25 small ones.
