Apple Cider Cupcakes Recipe

These moist Apple Cider Cupcakes made from scratch are a delicious fall dessert recipe that look so festive with thin apple slices on top.

I have been addicted to Honeycrisp apples recently.

They make my world go ’round. And when things make my world go ’round, I make them into cupcakes, just because I can.

I wish I could infuse apple cider flavoring into everything, because it’s just so good!

I tried to make apple cider cookie bars.

I failed. Twice.

I think that’s part of the reason I like cupcakes so much – you can tweak the recipe quite a bit without ruining the integrity of the cupcake.

That bodes well for me since I can never leave recipes alone (I blame my mother for that one!), but that also means that the flavors can be so much more versatile!

So, I give you the Apple Cider Cupcake.

I added just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, because I really wanted the apple cider flavor to be the star, and I think it was a success!

This little guy is packed with fluffy, moist (my two favorite cupcake adjectives!), apple goodness.

And, of course, I had to use some Honeycrisp apple as garnish.

This was actually the second cupcake I baked this weekend (the first one will be shared soon), but this one was prettier, so I’m sharing it first.
