APPLE CIDER CUPCAKES WITH APPLE BUTTER FILLING AND CARAMEL FROST



Apple Cider Cupcakes With Apple Butter Filling and Caramel Frost image

From the Lehigh Valley Live website, May 2011. One of my coworkers brought these in and I had to have the recipe! It uses an injector for the apple butter filling so I have to figure out how to do that (or go buy one!).

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggs, room temperature
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup apple cider
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup apple butter (approximate amount, the recipe didn't specify)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
10 tablespoons butter, divided
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash salt
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease or line 12 cupcake wells.
  • In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture, then 1/2 of the cider, and repeat, ending with the last of the flour and mixing only until incorporated.
  • Pour into prepared cupcake pan, filling each cup 3/4 way full. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Cool thoroughly, inject with apple butter in the center of the cupcake, then frost.
  • Frosting Directions:.
  • Melt brown sugar and 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over medium heat; remove from heat. Whisk in cream; blend well. Transfer to a heat-resistant bowl. Cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Place remaining 6 tablespoons butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Beat in vanilla and salt. With mixer running, slowly pour in cooled brown sugar mixture; beat until smooth. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating well after each addition until completely smooth. Chill slightly for a firmer texture, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tart apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are good choices.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For the best flavor, make the apple butter filling and caramel frosting ahead of time and let them chill in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

These apple cider cupcakes are a delicious and festive fall treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a cozy night in. The apple cider gives the cupcakes a moist and flavorful crumb, while the apple butter filling and caramel frosting add a sweet and tart kick. Whether you're a fan of apple cider or just looking for a new cupcake recipe to try, these cupcakes are sure to please.
