This is a cupcake that smells as good as it tastes. It’s an old Polish recipe from some of the best bakers in Milwaukee!

Apple Banana Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2/3 cup shortening
    1 1/4 cups white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup buttermilk
    1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
    2 apples – peeled, cored and shredded

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour 24 muffin cups, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

    2 In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and buttermilk. Beat in the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the mashed bananas and shredded apples. Fill each muffin cup half full.

    3 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
