How to Make Apple Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups grated apples, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus (or 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg), and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the cooled apple mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cupcakes should spring back when lightly touched.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
