Apple Cider Whoopie Pies are a delightful fall treat that combines the flavors of apple cider and spices in a soft, cake-like cookie filled with creamy frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, apple cider, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
  10. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Notes

  • Store whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a spicier flavor, add more cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  • These pies can be frozen for up to 3 months; just thaw before serving.
