Apple Pie Cupcakes

I've been raving about pumpkin cupcakes and desserts for over a month. Pumpkin is just the perfect ingredient for autumn desserts. But I don't want to leave out an equally important autumn ingredient: apple. Because what is Thanksgiving without pumpkin and apple pie?

These mini apple pie cupcakes from flickr user kellycakes are so adorable! Once you break it down, I bet these aren't too hard to make. The caption says: "Golden butter cupcakes with apple pie filling mixed in the batter, topped with Dutch apple jam and cinnamon vanilla buttercream." Yum! You could even add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

If you prefer pumpkin, check out these mini pumpkin pie cupcakes from Cupcakes a Go-Go that I posted about earlier this month.
