    You will find all the wonderful flavors of an apple pie in these Apple Pie Cupcakes with brown sugar cinnamon frosting. This recipe is super simple since we used a store bought cake mix and also store bought pie filling.

    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.

    The ingredients needed to make these perfect fall cupcakes is so super simple. 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.

      I’ve made these twice for the office Birthday celebrations and they were a huge hit. I love how simple they are to make and can’t wait to experiment with other fillings.

      Today is my 45th birthday. My kids usually cook for me, but I opted to do all the cooking myself and instead request that they bake these cupcakes for me. I happened to have a Pillsbury Cinnamon Bun cake mix, so I had them use that instead of a yellow cake mix because I love all things apple cinnamon…the more cinnamon the better! They smell heavenly baking in the oven, and I tasted the frosting…sooooo good! I can’t wait to get one of the finished cupcakes. Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe! It’s going to make my birthday extra special. :)

      This looks so scrumptious. I only eat apples in the fall when they are fresh. Fortunately the new crop will soon be available.

      I will be pinning this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

      We made these today and the frosting didn’t work for us. It was very crunchy from the brown sugar. Made a second batch w our fav buttercream and added cinnamon to the frosting. It was great. Thanks!
