Apple Pie Cupcakes

This is one of my favorite little desserts. I normally grab one in the morning for a little snack or when guests come over for dinner. It's great served with vanilla ice cream. Add any type of frosting and enjoy!

Ingredients

• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
• 1 sweet red apple, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and roughly chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 24 muffins cups or line with paper liners.

Step 2

Process red apple through a food processor until minced; transfer to a bowl. Process Granny Smith apple through a food processor until minced; transfer to a separate bowl.

Step 3

Combine cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl using an electric mixer or by hand until batter is smooth. Fold 1/2 cup sweet apple and 1/2 cup Granny Smith apples into batter.

Step 4

Spread graham cracker crumbs onto a piece of waxed paper; add cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour butter over crumbs and mix using your hands until crumbs are moist. Fill each muffin cup with 1 teaspoon crumb mixture and fill the remainder with batter. Sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture over batter.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 17 minutes. Cool cupcakes in tin for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
