Summer is by far my favorite season. Fall is a very close second. Halloween. (Anyone who knows me knows of my love of costumes and dressing up)Thanksgiving. Leaves changing colors. Not too cool, not too hot. Sweaters and boots. Pumpkins and apples. It was a busy Saturday at the toy store but I was determined to get a celebrate Cupcake Saturday this week no matter what when I found out what the flavor of the day was! This week Cupcake Charlie's was celebrating the fall season with this flavor of the day: Caramel Apple Pie. Caramel is my favorite candy of all time. I love those "bullseye" caramel creme candies and their offspring, the CowTale. When I was little, and grocery stores did this, I would buy a small bag of caramels at the Brach display. Later on, you could actually put a quarter in a box for just one piece of candy from the display, and I would do that as a treat when I was older. My fave ice cream sundae is a caramel sundae. And now, I can add, Caramel Apple Pie to my list of Caramel loves. This cupcake was fan-fricken-tastic!! It was a slightly cinnamon-y cupcake filled with apple pie filling. The apple pie filling actually reminded me of the Hostess apple pies that are covered in a thin layer of glaze...sugary and good! The frosting was a cinnamon/maple frosting which was drizzled with caramel and topped with a piece of candy corn. I can't really tell you how good this cupcake was. The apple filling was the best part. Anytime I can have my Cupcake Saturday and eat fruit at the same time is a good situation for me! I really loved this cupcake and am looking forward to what the fall and winter seasons have in store.
