Can anyone tell me if they have a good recipe for Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes.

Also, has anyone ever used apple pie filling in their cupcakes as a filling.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

This one is quite good. It's a cake recipe, but I used it for cupcakes. I made it without the mace, because I couldn't get any, and I grated the apples instead of chopping them. I covered them with a cinnamon icing (made with cinnamon oil, not ground cinnamon), and they were to die for! But even with some other kind of icing, they're delicious and very moist:

Apple Cake
posted by lanibird on CC


3 cups unsifted flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp mace
2 cups sugar (can use less to cut the sweetness)
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups peeled and diced Granny Smiths (or other tart baking apple)
1 cup coarsly chopped walnuts (sprinkled with a bit of lemon juice)
½ cup raisins

Preheat ove to 325. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Mix everything together by hand, adding the apple, raisins, and nuts last. An electric mixture ruins the texture. Pour batter into a prepared Bundt pan. Bake for one hour, or until insterted toothpick comes out clean.

Just tried this tonight using grated apple and omitting nuts and raisins - delish! It is definitely more 'sturdy' than another apple cake I tried ages ago that ended up nearly falling apart. I'm going to pair this with honey cinnamon BC....yum icon_smile.gif

I really like this recipe:

Substitute the strawberries for the apples. Add in 1/2 tsp cinnamon. You can also add in a little bit of applesauce.

Sorry, saw your post this morning when I woke up and didn't get to it til I got home from work and finished a cake. BUT I just made the honey cinnamon buttercream - I just adapted my usual BC recipe - so I can give you a recipe now haha. To answer your first question - I maybe added like 1 Tbsp extra flour, but that's it - the batter was really quite thick (I was thinking I did something wrong!), so when I added the 3 c. grated apples and mixed it up it all came together well and was more 'cake batter-like'.

The honey cinnamon buttercream is as follows:
250 g butter (1 c.)
4 c. icing sugar
4 Tbsp. honey - I liked it having a more pronounced honey taste as the cake has cinnamon too, so adjust to your taste
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
~2-3 Tbsp. milk

Pretty easy - just cream butter, add in icing sugar and beat until well blended, then mix in the honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Then gradually add in the milk, mixing until well blended - you may have to adjust quantity of milk depending on the consistency. Hope you like it - it tastes fantastic with the apple cinnamon cake icon_smile.gif
