These were delicious! My family who doesn't usually love cake gobbled these up! I was tempted to make extra filling to eat on its own:D I used crab apples and made my own cake. Thanks for the incredible recipe!
So good. Family loved. Followed exactly as written. To the woman who passed judgement with tsk-tsk, next time try something like, I do not use boxed products so I made my own Cake and it worked beautifully and tasted great. See how much nicer that sounded. Much less condescending ??
I usually don't make substitutions to recipes the first time I try them, however, I didn't have a yellow cake mix & was in a rush to get these done. I used a spice cake mix and they were wonderful! I used muffin size pan & next time I'll use smaller size. These are so rich and delicious, it's almost hard to finish the larger size. Thanks for great recipe. I will be making them again very soon.
I made these last year but used my own cake recipe. They were so good. I also browned the butter for the frosting. I will be making these again this year. I love the filling.

I have used this recipe over and over again. It's so good and it tastes just like apple pie! It's a hit with everyone I make it for.
Yummy! I loved the unexpected apple flavor mixed in with a cupcake. Icing was sufficient to give each cupcake a healthy dose of frosting.
Easy and delicious! the seniors at our community bingo night loved them!!
