Raw Caramel Apple Pie CupcakesJanuary 29th, 2012 7 comments

Of all my website addictions (and trust me, there are too many), One Green Planet is probably the most informative and beneficial to my overall wellbeing.  I love their stories on animals and nature, lifestyle, science, and health, not to mention the incredible vegan recipes they feature.  I’ve had my eye on this amazing recipe for a while now, and since I’m going craaaazy with the raw food this week, I thought why not get my raw dessert on!

To make seven cupcakes (I didn’t choose that number for any superstitious reason or anything – it chose me when I ran out of crust after seven), I used the exact Crust recipe, but then made only half of the Filling and Caramel volumes.

The resulting cupcakes were gooey, caramel goodness – and so healthy, you could eat them for breakfast!  They sure beat the lolly snakes I often ate for breakfast B.V. (Before Veganism).

I was especially impressed with the caramel – it is soooo good.  I don’t often have the time or patience to make recipes with so many steps, though, so next time I’m planning on creating another version of  Apple Cupcakes - apple halves sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with the caramel sauce and sultanas.  Ohhh yes.  I have a hunch they will be just as tasty, with half the time and mess, hurray!

That leaves more time for website addictions and other important stuff…

   First of all, just want to say I am loving your blog so far! We definitely share similar philosophies on veganism and healthy eating.

   Second of all, thank you for bringing these cupcakes to my attention – they look AMAZING! I love OGP and will be making these very soon.

     Oh, thank you so much, Nada!

     And they ARE amazing! All the better with your new dehydrator – I don’t have one yet, so just used my oven on the lowest setting. Enjoy!
