Apple Cider Cupcakes

2/3 Cup Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar

1/2 Tsp. Salt

1/2 Cup Melted Unsalted Butter

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

2 Large Eggs

1 Tsp. Baking Soda

1 1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon

1 Tsp. Nutmeg

1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour

3/4 Cup Apple Cider

Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature

8 oz. Cream Cheese, room temperature

2 Cups Powdered Sugar, sifted

2 Tbsp. Apple Cider

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and butter until fully incorporated.

Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time until incorporated.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Add half of the flour mixture and half of the apple cider into the sugar mixture and whisk to combine.

Add the remaining flour and apple cider and whisk to combine.

Line a cupcake pan with liners and pour in the batter 2/3 of the way up.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let completely cool on a wire rack.

To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter with an electric hand mixter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add in half of the powdered sugar, half of the apple cider, the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Add in the remaining powdered sugar and apple cider and mix to combine.

Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and frost onto the cupcakes.

Serve and enjoy!!
