Cupcake a Month

I love baking in case you didn't know. My favorite thing to bake is cupcakes because they're so fun and cute! I decided to bake a monthly cupcake to bring to work (so I won't have to eat all of them). Each month will be a different cupcake that is inspired by the month.

For September I made Cinnamon Apple Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting since fall starts in September and nothing says fall like apples.

I used this recipe from Duncan Hines. The only thing I did differently was used a Smuckers Cinnamon Apple Sundae Topping instead of making the apple mixture in the recipe. The batter smelled so good!  I thought they were a little tart which I attributed to using the sundae topping instead of the real thing. But everybody else said the cupcakes tasted good so I have to believe them. I did think they tasted better the following day. Can't wait to make my October/Halloween cupcakes!
