Delicious and moist apple cider cupcakes, perfect for fall celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil and reduce it to about 1/2 cup. Let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the reduced apple cider, and mix until just combined.
  7. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding chopped apples to the batter.
  • These cupcakes pair well with cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
