APPLE CUPCAKES



Apple Cupcakes image

This is one of my husband's favorite recipes. He warns me about the upcoming hunting season so that I can make these for his trip. They are very moist and tasty. I use Pampered Chef's cinnamon plus for the spices and like it the best. I have won Reserve Grand champ at our local fair with these and they are often requested. Freeze nicely.

APPLE CUPCAKES WITH CINNAMON-MARSHMALLOW FROSTING



Apple Cupcakes With Cinnamon-Marshmallow Frosting image

From EatingWell: September/October 2009: Shredded apple replaces some of the oil and keeps the cake moist in these cinnamon-spiked cupcakes. There is a generous amount of fluffy marshmallow frosting to mound or pipe on top for a festive look. Be sure to frost them right after you make the frosting-it stiffens as it stands and becomes more difficult to spread.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cupcakes are moist, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, dry cupcakes.
  • For a light and fluffy frosting, make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
  • To make the cupcakes even more festive, you can top them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini marshmallows.
  • These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These apple cupcakes with marshmallow frosting are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're moist, flavorful, and topped with a fluffy, sweet frosting. Whether you're baking them for a party or just for a special snack, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
