  ASSEMBLY
  1. When cupcakes are cool, core each cupcake with a mall pastry tip. If you don’t have a pastry tip, poke a hole in the middle of the cupcake with a narrow-bladed knife (a steak knife would do).
  2. Fill the cavity with applejack Caramel Sauce, taking care not to let it overflow.
  3. Frost to your liking.
  4. Sprinkle with crushed almonds.
