Tips:

  • Use fresh apples for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use unsweetened applesauce.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cupcakes dry and dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the cupcakes will overflow.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cupcakes.
  • Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
