Tips:

  • For the best cupcakes, use fresh pumpkin purée. You can make your own purée by roasting a pumpkin and then blending the flesh until smooth.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and even cupcake batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin apple surprise cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy filling. The cream cheese frosting adds a rich and creamy touch. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
