Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth then whisk in the vanilla extract and milk. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. The batter will have a few lumps. Fold in the apples.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full with batter. Bake for 21-23 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean when done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream. Whisk constantly until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the salt, then stop whisking as mixture begins to simmer. Simmer without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat in 2 cups confectioners' sugar and the remaining heavy cream. Slowly add 1/2 - 1 cup more confectioners' sugar until you reach your desired thickness. Add a little cream or milk if you find the frosting too thick. Frost cooled cupcakes and drizzle with salted caramel, if desired.
- Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:
- Use a quality cake mix: A good cake mix will produce a moist and flavorful cupcake. Look for a cake mix that is specifically designed for cupcakes, as these mixes typically contain more leavening agents and sugar, which will help the cupcakes rise properly and have a tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined and no lumps remain.
- Fill the cupcake liners only two-thirds full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing and making a mess in your oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: The baking temperature and time will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Be sure to follow the recipe instructions carefully to ensure that the cupcakes are baked properly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cupcakes.
Conclusion:
These cake mix caramel apple cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and flavorful cake, gooey caramel filling, and sweet apple frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
