Delicious and moist apple cider cupcakes infused with the flavors of fall, topped with a creamy frosting.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped apples to the batter.
  • These cupcakes pair well with cream cheese frosting.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
