Brown Sugar-Maple Frosting image

This makes a somewhat stiff frosting that tastes a bit like toffee and is perfect for covering fall desserts. From apple cakes to pumpkin cookies to cranberry-walnut cupcakes, this is my go-to frosting to capture the flavors of my favorite season. I like to top it with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Be warned, however, that it's extremely sweet, so it's best paired with low-sugar baked goods. A little goes a long way.

This frosting is delicious, but it's a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding a little bit of milk to thin it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and the frosting turned out runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
