Truly, these apple spice cupcakes are everything you could want in an apple dessert! Not too heavy or overwhelmingly sweet and with all the right flavors.

Make the cupcakes

01 Beat butter until creamy, then beat in sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add them, alternating with apple cider.

Bake

02 Divide the batter between 12 muffin cups lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Make the filling

03 Cook apples with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until tender. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.

Fill the cupcakes

04 Once cupcakes have cooled, cut the center out of each one and fill with apple filling.

Make the frosting

05 Cream butter then, add in powdered sugar and cinnamon. Mix in just enough heavy cream to make a pipable consistency.

Decorate cupcakes

06 Swirl frosting over cupcakes and decorate with apple slices.
