And…in case you didn’t know…she has a new book out! And I’m giving one away to one LUCKY reader!!

But first, let me share the recipe for these Caramel Apple Pops…

Caramel Apple Pops

Homemade Caramel Apple Pops recipe from HoosierHomemade.com

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups oil
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup nuts, chopped, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Measure dry ingredients into a measuring cup and set aside.
In large bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs, mix well until all combined and lemon yellow in color.
Gradually add dry ingredients, just until combined.
Fold in apples and nuts (if desired), then add vanilla.
Add batter to mini muffin tins, about 1 tablespoon each.
You can either use paper liners or generously spray pan with cooking spray. I did both, and they both worked fine. Using the liners was a little easier, and the cupcakes didn’t spread as much.
This recipe is actually a cake recipe, made mostly in a Bundt pan, I simply baked it in mini muffin tins. It’s very good, and would make a very moist Fall cake as well.

Assembly

You will need lollipop sticks, candy melts (small amount) and Caramel Sauce.
After the cupcakes have cooled, melt chocolate and cover the end (about 1/2 inch) of stick, tap off excess and put into bottom of cupcake, place on wax paper until set.
In the meantime, make Caramel Sauce, I used the same recipe I shared for the Caramel Apple S’Mores .
Let the sauce cool about 10 minutes, then dip the cupcake into the caramel and place back onto wax paper.
Let them set about 10 minutes, then enjoy!

Aren’t you excited for a chance to win? I might just have to buy myself one too!

My favorite part of autumn are the changing leaves. I love to make pictures out of them with my kids!

My favorite part of autumn hasn’t changed since I was a kid – I still love stepping on crunch leaves!

my favorite part of autumn is turning off the air conditioner and opening the windows to air out the house. then there is also the apples and pumpkins and squash and cranberries and………… to cook and bake with.

I love the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves and the upcoming holidays with friends and family!

my favorite part of autumn is the way everything smells! Like a fall scent in the air

My favorite part of Autumn is the change of weather, decorating, and all the yummy foods.

My favorite part of autumn is the Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Carving, Nature’s changing colors and all the hot comfort foods that warm you all over.
