Treat of the Week: Fresh Apple Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Grated Gala apples and the perfect spices make up the batter for these moist, tender cupcakes. They are iced with a thick, creamy cream cheese frosting which is the ideal counterpoint to the mellow spice of the cake.
This past weekend, my mother treated us with the best possible, pre-Thanksgiving treat. These cupcakes have all of the rich flavors of fall with apples and cinnamon, but introduce the spices we associate with the confections of Christmas. A transitional seasonal dessert, with their piped white frosting, they also remind us that winter is just around the corner.

Goodness!! Those cupcakes look so wonderful...I wish one could taste treats through the internet...sigh. I think you should consider having your mom appear on "Cupcake Wars!"
These R nicer than the ones on that show. They're beautiful. Your mom could win the prize, but it would be beneath her talents.
Would be good after thanksgiving dinner instead of pie.
More yumsies! Happy Thanksgiving!
I go weak in the knees for a good cupcake. These sure made my knees weak.
Thank you, Shawn! My mom should show those amateurs on that stow, "the way to do it."
You're very kind, Book Gurl!
I concur, Gene, but in addition to pie!
Happy thanksgiving to you, Carolyn!
Well, Matt, I have the same reaction. Thanks for reading!
