Bake moist vanilla cupcakes with a surprise center of spiced apple pie filling, topped with simple frosting. This recipe delivers the flavor of apple pie in a convenient, single-serving treat perfect for office celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup prepared apple pie filling (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Spoon about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the apple pie filling into the center of the batter in each cup.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake part (avoiding the filling) comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. To make the frosting, beat the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of softened butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
  10. Frost the cooled cupcakes and serve your creative apple desserts.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use diced, cooked apples seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg instead of pre-made pie filling.
  • You can use a piping tip to core out a small section of the baked cupcake top before filling it for a cleaner presentation of the apple pie stuffed cupcakes.
