apple pie cupcakes

• Apple Pie Cupcakes with
•  
• Cinnamon Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

I had gone apple picking about 2 weeks ago, and made a delicious apple pie. But, I still had about 4 apples left, and I didnt want them to go to waste, so I tried to think of a recipe that sound really good. I was still in the apple pie mood, so I figured, why not try making apple pie cupcakes?

I wasn't sure what type of cupcake flavor to make with the apple. I figured spice was the best. So spice cupcakes with apple pie filling. YUM!

make cupcake batter, fill about 2/3 of the way.
Take a scoop of apie pie filling and place in center of cupcake

 My plan was for the applepie filling to sit right on top, but when they came out of the oven, the mixture had sunk to the center, so it was like a surprise in the middle. Its workable!

 Add the buttercream frosting!




 For a finishing touch sprinkle some cinnamon and white sugar on top!
