Apple Pie cupcakes

the truth is...

I typically make about 3 1/2 dozen cupcakes.per.weekend.

2 dozen for work

some for neighbors

friends & family

and of course the hubs. love.

making THAT MANY apple cupcakes yesterday just was not do-able.

they do take longer to frost and dip, and frankly I didn't have enough mint leaves...

so I decided to do a more grown up apple cupcake too.

Spice cake mix
+ 1 tablespoon cinnamon
+ 1 teaspoon nutmeg

fill with apple pie filling
{see below}

top with my normal buttercream frosting
(i made a double batch because I used this on both sets of cupcakes)
3 sticks unsalted butter
6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

I ate this one for breakfast yesterday! delish!
