apple pie cupcakes

After a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family and friends, I was inspired to bake Apple Pie cupcakes to fit the Fall mood.

The cupcakes were apple flavored with apple sauce and cinnamon. I chose a basic cream cheese frosting and topped them with apple pie filling.

I baked 48 of these for an event and everyone enjoyed them.

Here is the basic recipe:
