Рецепт Apple Spice Cupcakes
Today I am here with a few other ladies to celebrate Lauren from Keep It Sweet Desserts. Lauren is having a baby!! A baby boy! As a mom to a boy, I know how much fun little boys can be. I am super happy for Lauren. She is super sweet and always there to help. A couple years ago Lauren quit her full time job and opened her own on-line bakery. I have tasted a few of her cookies and brownies. It is no wonder she is so successful, they were amazing! So join me today as we have a virtual baby shower for Lauren.
Audra from The Baker Chick planned this virtual baby shower, and thought it would be fitting if everything was mini! Sweet or savory, everything is perfectly cute and mini. I am slightly obsessed with all things apple lately, so I made these adorable little apple spice cupcakes that I topped with a brown sugar cinnamon frosting. If you have been around for awhile, you might recognize that frosting from these Apple Blondies. It is just perfect for topping fall desserts.
My family doesn’t love apples in desserts. Apple Bars, apple pie, apple crisp etc. They don’t get near them. So I was super excited when I made these apple spice cupcakes and they ate them! The apples are shredded, so I know that helped. To be honest, I wasn’t prepared to actually love these. I am a choc-aholic to the core, so I thought I would like these, but that was it. Boy was I wrong! These apple spice cupcakes were so darn good, I could not stay out of them. I am all for mini desserts, because then you don’t have to share. But I used the mini excuse far too much! I quickly sent what was left to work with my husband, and they disappeared very quickly! You will definitely want to add these to your baking list this fall!
