When you think of apple spice cupcakes, you probably automatically picture enjoying such a treat in autumn, and understandably so. Yet we have to ask:
Why stop there?! Fight the power!!
You can enjoy them all year with this delicious and surprisingly simple recipe from Food Fanatic, which offers a festive spin on this classic American fruit.
Pumpkin, schmupkin. Are we right?
Sure, pumpkins are pretty awesome and all, but they’ve come to dominate all fall recipes when apples are arguably tastier and definitely more versatile.
If you somehow can’t stand apples, or don’t enjoy delicious things, well, then you probably won’t get a lot out of this apple spice cupcakes recipe.
That has to be about 1 percent of Americans, tops, though, so for the rest of you sane people, allow us to remind you how great apples are in any context!
Specifically in this case, as a baking ingredient, bringing out the flavor of the fruit in a cupcake that is so perfectly buttery and moist, you just have to try it.
Combined with the right spices, apple spice cupcakes are a feast for almost anyone’s taste buds as the leaves fall from the trees and give way to winter.
We recommend Granny Smith apples baked into the batter, although you could try other varietals of apples as well if you’re strongly partial to them.
Whichever apple you prefer, topping them off with plain butter cream or cream cheese, or even sweetened whipped cream is literally the icing on the cake.
They’d be great even without any frosting, but what fun is that? If you insist, feel free to eat them plain … just try a sprinkling of powdered sugar at least.
Either way, you can’t lose with apple spice cupcakes. Follow the above links to learn how you can make them sweetly, simply and deliciously today!
