Caramel Apple Cupcakes

I have never eaten a caramel apple my whole life, so unfortunately I don't know what a caramel apple taste like. But I have eaten caramel and apples separately, so maybe I can imagine combining them together. Maybe they taste like these cupcakes? They have caramel, apple, and nuts, that is what a caramel apple has, right?

Mini Apple Pie

I just discovered that I love apple pie. Even though I just made it for the first time, its taste is somehow familiar. Maybe I used to eat apple pies when I was young. Or maybe I ate a lot of things that are apple pie flavored. The taste of granny smith apples with cinnamon and sugar in a flaky, buttery crust is just so addictive that you can easily eat a half dozen of these. I think every now and then we should have a break from cupcakes.

Polvoron Cupcakes

Polvoron Cupcakes taste like polvoron, except that they are not crumbly and are cuter. Both the cupcake and the frosting have polvoron, so it resulted into very tasty cupcakes that taste like the Filipino classic. It's like a modern version of a classic that will bring back your childhood memories like it did with me, that is if you are Filipino. But wherever you come from, you should definitely try making them.

Polvoron

Polvorón, or Pulburon as we call it, is a type of a crumbly shortbread that originated from Spain. It is so crumbly that care must be taken when eating it. It is usually made with flour, sugar, milk, and nuts. Here in the Philippines, it is considered more of a candy than an actual bread and is popular during Christmas, but is available all year round. They are available in different flavors like Cookies n' Cream, Chocolate, or the classic Pinipig, which is pounded immature glutinous rice. Here we are going to make Almond Polvoron.
