1 package spice or carrot cake mix

20 caramels (unwrapped)

Prepare cake batter according to package directions; fold in apples.
Fill 12 greased or paper-lined jumbo (Texas-Size) muffin cups three-fourths full.

Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a saucepan, cook the caramels and milk over low heat until smooth. Cool just until you're able to ice the cupcakes without having the caramel running down the sides.
Ice the cupcakes with the caramel.
Sprinkle with pecans.
Insert a wooden stick into the center of each cupcake.
