Apple Cupcakes for Fall
Save RecipeHi Bold Bakers!
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love it because all of my favorite Holidays happen within this season like Halloween and Thanksgiving.
It’s the time of year where you can get incredibly creative with your baking and look at what nature gives you for inspiration. Fall bring apples which can be baked, grated, juiced and chopped any which way from Sunday. This beautifully versatile fruit lends itself to pies, fritters, cider, cakes and cupcakes just like the ones I made.
My Apple Cupcakes are not only apple on the outside but on the inside as well. The cupcake is incredibly moist because we add in grated apple at the end. When the apple bakes it almost disappears leaving you a soft, crumbly cupcake. Cinnamon plays a big part in this recipe as a lot of people equate it with Fall and the holiday Season. It’s the perfect bite to get you in the mood for Autumn.
I very simply decorated my Cakes to look like apples. It doesn’t take a lot of work. All you need is a buttercream frosting and a star nozzle to recreate these adorable cupcakes. I’m a firm believer that we eat with our eyes so if these cupcakes don’t get you in the fall spirit i don’t know what will.
My KitchenAid® Artisan Mini Stand Mixer is the perfect size to make this batch of 12 Apple Cupcakes. What I love about this mixer is that the whisk reaches the bottom of the bowl so for even small batches everything gets combined properly.

The frosting recipe states 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Surely, that is not enough sugar for the frosting. Can this be a typo? what should be the correct amount of powdered sugar.
Thanks,
Hello, that is the correct ration.
Hi
I wanted to know what is difference between cupcakes and muffins . Both have same ingredients can you explain
Cupcakes are made generally using a different method of whipped butter and sugar at the start. Muffins generally don’t. Also good muffins contain buttermilk and cupcakes don’t normally.
Hope this helps,
Gemma.
HEY GEMMA, Can I use condensed milk instead of egg.
Hi Aarti,
Checkout the egg substitute chart here (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/egg-substitutes-for-baking/). I think I would use yogurt or applesauce for these. The condensed milk may be too sweet,
Gemma 🙂
Thank you for replying
When you measure flour do you pay it down and keep adding more or shake it and let it even out that way? And for either one do you do that with all your recipes including flour
Hi Emily,
I presume you mean using measuring cups!
measuring cups work by measuring the volume of the ingredients. As long as you measure each ingredient the same way it will be good. This is why if you try to figure out how many oz, or grams in a cup of flour, you will find differing answers.
So, for me I use cups a lot, and I shake the cup to level it, do not pack it down. you can also overload the cup, and using a kitchen knife level it off.
Digital scales are the most accurate way to measure, if this is an issue for you, you may like to invest in one!

I made the Apple cupcakes, Red Velvet cupcakes ,and Carrot cupcakes for a friend’s birthday 🙂 They taste great.
Hi there rose, what a lovely friend you are! I am happy that these worked out well for you,

Hi Gemma! I want to bake this as a whole cake..What Pan to use for this 12 cupcake recipe??
Can I use a 6″ pan?
Hi Nikka, if it is a deep pan a 6 inch one will do the job for you. I would prefer to use an 8 inch pan, which is about 3 inches deep for this recipe.
Bake at 180 degrees, check after about 20 mins, do not take it from the oven, but press your finger lightly to the top center of the cake, if it feels firm it is done. Do not keep no opening the oven, a drop in temperature really affects the bake,
Gemma 🙂
These look reallyy cute 🙂
Thank you, it is good to have you with us, 🙂
Hi Gemma I love all of your recipes. Can u pls do some more Fall recipes with pumkin.???
I probably will get to this, but maybe not just now! I have a long list of things to be going on with up to Christmas! do check out all of the pumpkin recipes already here 🙂
I also love theese cupcakes, can you use coconut four for them as well?
Hi there, I think you mean coconut flour! I think this would work for you, this type of recipe does not rely on gluten, so it is worth a try, perhaps half the recipe to try it out 🙂
They are so cute
Thank you Elizabeth, I actually loved these too! 🙂
