PUMPKIN APPLE SURPRISE CUPCAKES

I was fixing dinner and was trying to find somedry ranch dressing mix when I found all these ingredients! I didn't know what I was going to make for a dessert so I just thought I would create something and low and behold I was told it was the best thing I've ever made. It's not too sweet and isn't a heavy dessert. My neighbor came over right after I had fix them and I gave her two for her and her husband, and an hour later I get a phone call saying it's the best thing they've ever tasted! So I thought I'd share it with all of you and hopefully you get the same results!

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box(es) spice cake mix
1 can(s) pumpkin, canned
1 can(s) apple pie filling
1 can(s) white icing

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven at 350 and spray your pan or put in your cupcake liners.
  • Fix your cake mix according to your box. After you've mixed up the cake batter, add a half of a can of your pumpkin and mix well. Pour into your cake pan(s).
  • While waiting for your cake to cook, put your icing, the other half a can of pumpkin and two spoon fulls of your Apple pie filling into but mixer and use your whisk attachment. Mix on low speed at first and gradually go to the highest. This will make the apples smaller and easier to spread on the tops of your cakes.
  • Once your cakes have finished let them cool to the point where you can handle them. If you have a cupcake plunger use that or use a spoon to scoop out the center. (I realize it's tempting to eat the centers but don't, but if you you must, just cut off the top portion and set it aside) Once you're cakes have been cored, fill them with the apple pie filling and then place the tops that you didn't eat, back on the cake.
  • Don't frost your cakes until ready to serve but if you're taking them somewhere make sure you keep them cool or even Refrigerate the frosted caked about an hour before transporting them.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 8-ounce block cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 cups powdered sugar
Chopped toasted pecans, for topping

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-cup muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter and the sugar. Beat with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and the vanilla extract. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time. Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixtures together until thoroughly combined.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake liner 3/4 of the way full. Bake until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
  • For the cream cheese frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter, maple syrup, and salt to a large bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar until thoroughly combined.
  • Top the cupcakes with the frosting and chopped pecans.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, use organic ingredients to ensure the highest quality.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make your cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Cupcake Liners Correctly: Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The oven temperature is critical for achieving perfectly baked cupcakes. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't Overbake: Overbaking the cupcakes will make them dry and crumbly. Keep an eye on them in the oven and remove them as soon as they are done.
  • Let the Cupcakes Cool Completely: Before you frost the cupcakes, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin apple surprise cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. These cupcakes are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create perfect cupcakes that will be enjoyed by everyone.
