Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes
School has started so that means apples, right? Fall is just around the corner and what better way to usher in the the school year and coming of fall than with apple cinnamon cupcakes. This recipe was adapted from my mother-in-law’s apple cake, which is equally delicious! It is all that a cupcake should be and tastes almost healthy with the apples. Not really, but we’ll pretend. They will be waiting for my kids as they walk through the door. We’ll sit down and chat about their day over a cup of Stephen’s Hot Chocolate and Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes. Life is oh so sweet.
