Moist and flavorful recipe for Apple Cider Cupcakes made from scratch with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting makes for a mouthwatering fall dessert!Cupcakes are one of my favorite desserts to make and these Apple Cider Cupcakes are my favorite of all time and so popular. They are easier than making an entire cake, easier to frost, easier to photograph (which I realize only applies to me and other weird people who photograph their food), AND they are just plain fun. Speaking of fun, remember my Fruity Pebbles cupcakes from earlier this year? That’s all….just wanted to see if you remembered them. No other reason other than they are awesome.
I’m so glad you’re here! Follow along on Pinterest and Instagram for more inspiration!
Let’s go back to the “easier to photograph” part. When I make a whole cake there’s no other way around it than for me to tear into it in order to have a slice to photograph. This has not gone over very well when this said cake is for a special occasion or to bring to someone else’s party as a dish to pass. Not to say this has ever stopped me (it hasn’t) but there’s just something so not classy about bringing a cake somewhere that has already been chopped up. Ha, ha. I have to say, though, I have gotten a lot better over the years about masking my hack jobs. Re-frosting and patching up a cake is tons of fun (sarcasm).
Apple Cider Cupcakes recipe with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting for a great Thanksgiving day fall dessert!
Anyways…..these Apple Cider Cupcakes. These bad boys would be an awesome Thanksgiving dessert! They come out as pretty dense cupcakes, not all fluffy and cake-like as you might imagine. They have more of the consistency of muffins. That being said, if you leave the frosting off, these can serve as muffins for a wonderful fall breakfast. Dessert for breakfast is ALWAYS a good idea. Leave the frosting off? I know…I’m taking crazy pills. The point I’m trying to make is that the cupcakes definitely pack enough flavor that you wouldn’t even need to adorn them with the brown sugar cinnamon frosting. They could stand on their own two feet (do cupcakes have feet?), but let’s not go crazy here. Add the frosting. Definitely add the frosting.
Homemade Apple Cider Cupcakes recipe with creamy Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting for a great Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert.
This recipe is brought to you by the fact that I had an entire gallon of apple cider in the fridge and I’m the only one who drinks it. Solution: make desserts with it. And eat those yourself, too. For the record, I had planned on giving them away but my plans fell through…so don’t judge! Side note: please make these Monster Cookie Dough Cupcakes from my blog at some point in time. You can thank me later.
