Apple Pie cupcakes

I can’t really think of an argument against making these Apple Pie Cupcakes! They taste like apple pie in cupcake form! I made the cupcakes and apple pie filling from scratch. However, if you’re short on time (Or pans!), feel free to use shortcuts.

Instructions

For the Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in milk, eggs, cinnamon, baking powder, and vanilla.
  • Gradually add flour a little at a time until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Divide batter evenly between cupcake liners. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Once cool, cut a small circle out of the center of each cupcake.

For the Filling

  • In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium low heat.
  • Add apples, sugars, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • Stir in water and cornstarch, and cook until thickened.
  • Add ~½ tablespoon of apple pie filling to each cupcake. Replace cupcake "lid" that you cut out earlier.

For the Frosting

  • Cream butter until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar a little at a time. Alternate with milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Spread or pipe onto cupcakes. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.

    This is great, having an apple pie that is as small as a cupcake. I can enjoy the dessert without a big slice of pie.
