Caramel Apple Cupcakes - cheesecake or pie?

A friend of mine asked me to make caramel apple cupcakes.  I had made them before, but I thought that I could do better.  I definitely did!  These cupcakes start with a vanilla cupcake base.  The middle of the cupcake is scooped out and apple pie filling is spooned in.  The cupcake is then frosted with a caramel cream cheese frosting and a thick caramel drizzle.  So the cupcake contains apple pie filling, but a cream cheese frosting, should I call it a pie or a cheesecake cupcake?

Caramel Apple Cupcakes: A lunch date

Friends were coming to lunch, and of course the dessert was cupcakes.  It was beginning to feel like fall and I had picked apples from a local orchard, caramel apple cupcakes naturally followed.  These cupcakes have an apple spice cake and are filled with cream cheese filling.  The cupcake is then covered in a homemade caramel sauce.
