Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two 12 cup muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
Combine the first six ingredients in the bowl of your electric mixer. Stir until fully combined.
Fill each muffin cup 1/2 full with batter. Add a small spoon full of your apple dip to each cup. Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow your cupcakes to cool completely and top with caramel buttercream.
