Apple Pie Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk (pref. whole milk)
1 batch vanilla frosting
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk (pref. whole milk)
1 batch vanilla frosting
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well-combined. Stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Stir in the remaining half of the flour mixture, mixing just until no streaks of dry ingredients remain visible. Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Take the cupcakes out of the pan and place them on a wire rack. Allow cupcakes to cool completely, then use a paring knife to cut a cone out of the center of each cupcake. Cut the point off of each cone, preserving the top.
Fill each cupcake with approx 2 tsp apple pie filling, then replace the top. Frost cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Make a well in the top of the frosting, then add 1 tsp apple pie filling to the well.
Makes 12.
