Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup

4 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Dash salt
1 carton (16 ounces) caramel apple dip
Chocolate frosting and decorating icing, optional
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Combine the first eight ingredients. Beat on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium 2 minutes.
