Apple Pie Cupcakes
Description
This recipe uses a boxed white cake mix enhanced with cinnamon for warmth. The cupcake batter is portioned into lined muffin tins with a spoonful of apple pie filling placed on top before baking, creating a layered texture of soft cake and cooked apple pieces. Baking for 18-20 minutes cooks the cake through while gently heating the filling.
The result is a convenient single-serving dessert that mimics apple pie flavors with less effort and fuss. Adding whipped cream or ice cream on top adds richness and balances the sweet-tart apple filling.
These cupcakes work well for casual occasions or when a portable version of apple pie is desired.
