Ingredients
1 box vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
16 oz. can vanilla frosting
red food coloring
10 green gummies
Pretzel sticks
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line two cupcake tins with cupcake liners, preferably red. Bundle up small pieces of foil to create small marble-sized rounds and place on the top of each cupcake cup to bend the cupcake line. (This helps shape the cupcake into an apple shape.)Step 2Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and divide between cupcake liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the muffin tins for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Step 3Add a few drops of red food coloring to the vanilla frosting and stir until combined. Using a small offset spatula, frost cupcakes. Step 4Insert a pretzel stick into the top indented part of the apple cupcake. Then using scissors, cut each gummy in half and stick it next to the pretzel stick to be a leaf.
