Apple Pie Cupcakes

We have been going a bit overboard with apple recipes this past week. My kiddos start school really early this year and since back to school always has fall on my mind, I have been baking up a storm. I grew up in upstate NY and school never started until the Wednesday after Labor Day. I really am not liking this new schedule the school has decided on. I had a nice mid August summer vacation planned and these new dates really messed with all of that.

My kiddos really enjoyed the Apple Pie Fries I shared on Wednesday. They actually requested that I make them again today. When I mentioned apple pie cupcakes, they quickly agreed that cupcakes would make for a great evening dessert.

When the kiddos were younger, I never did much baking. It always seemed too crazy to try to focus on any dessert besides what I could purchase from the bakery. I then evolved into what I call a convenience baker, ha ha. I like to take store bought mixes, dough, etc and put a fun twist on them. One of my favorite fall cupcakes is my Caramel Apple Cupcakes that I shared with you last fall. They are SUPER yum and fun!

These Apple Pie Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cupcakes are amazing. As a matter of fact, I am enjoying one with my afternoon coffee right now. The apple pie filling inside and the cinnamon buttercream icing is a perfect combo. You will find all the flavors of an apple pie in cupcake form.

Just grab yourself a cake mix (I love the Betty Crocker Butter Yellow), apple pie filling (store bought or Homemade Apple Pie Filling), and a few other ingredients that can most likely be found in your fridge and cabinets. These apple cupcakes are so simple.
