Caramel-Apple Cupcakes

1 (18-1/4 ounce) box carrot cake mix
2 cups pared and chopped tart apples
20 pieces caramel candy (see note)
3 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped pecans
12 flat wooden skewers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions; fold in apples. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake 20 minutes. Cool.

Combine caramels and milk in a saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring until smooth. Spread over cupcakes. Sprinkle with pecans. Insert a skewer into the center of each cupcake so each one looks like an apple on a stick. Serves 12.

Note: If using caramel squares, omit milk.
