Fall is in the air around our neck of the woods… the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler, and the leaves are beginning to turn.  I can’t help but think of all the yummy pumpkin, apple, and peachy things there are to make!!!  These Apple Cider Cupcakes cupcakes are a super easy spin off a cake mix!  I made them last Sunday for my nieces and nephews, they were so sad to be limited to only 2 each! (Except my littlest niece, Tessa, she just wanted refills on the frosting…twice!!)  I quickly told them the Apple Cider Cupcake recipe would be posted for their mommy to make at home… hint, hint Louise 😉

Add Apple Cider

Fill muffin tins 2/3 way full (Jake was my helper today!)

Apple Cider Frosting

1/2 C softened butter
1/4 C apple cider
4 C powdered sugar

Whip the butter, add apple cider, whip 2 minutes till creamed.  Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.  Frost cupcakes and garnish with sprinkled cinnamon, if desired.
(To do the swirl top frosting, double the batch, use a # 1M round or star tip, a large coupler, and a large frosting bag)

Frosting is a stiff peak consistency
