Ingredients
Apple Cider Cupcakes
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
Drizzle
- Caramel sauce I use store bought
Instructions
Apple Cider Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.
- Once creamed together, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and apple cider.
- Gently add in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt mixing just until combined. Do not over mix. This will cause air pockets and your cupcakes will be dense.
- Fill each liner 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and muffin tin. Set aside to cool completely.
Cinnamon Sugar Buttercream
- Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add in cinnamon and vanilla.
- Once the butter mixture is fully whipped, add in the powdered sugar a little at a time to avoid a mess.
- Pipe on to fully cooled cupcakes. I used a 1M Wilton tip.
- Drizzle with caramel.
Notes
- It's very important to let your butter soften when you make your buttercream. The key to a great, fluffy buttercream is to have softened butter and cream it together properly with the sugar.
- Don't overfill your cupcake liners. Your cupcakes will be uneven and spill. By filling them 2/3 of the way, they will rise properly and evenly.
- If your frosting is a little too thick, you can add a splash of milk to thin it out. Add very little at a time to avoid adding too much.
