Just normal indoor outdoor white caulk looks like it'll do the trick.

Latex? No concern over moisture?

Big black caulk


Applied with the rounded tip of a butter knife. Or your finger.

I wouldn't caulk it. What you're seeing is shrinkage during winter due to less humidity and from running your heater. If you do caulk, wait till summer when it's hot and humid and use "big stretch". It's the result of mdf moulding and "paint grade" cabinets made of glued together saw dust.

It will go back to normal within 3 weeks of steady temps and humidity over 70. Seriously, if you must caulk, wait till dead of summer and use big stretch caulk. I still wouldn't do it unless you want to paint the whole cabinet to perfectly match.
