These sumptuous Apple Pie Cupcakes are sure to derail your New Year's resolution. The wonderfully naughty confections are the handiwork of the adventurous blogger Joanne from Inspired Taste. Pie-inspired cupcakes are certainly not new, but these cakes have a whole lot more going on than a few apples spiked with apple pie spice. The base of these tasty tidbits is comprised of a flattened bite-sized cinnamon roll and filled with sweetly spiced sautéed apples. The whole affair is topped off with a crisp coating of walnut streusel, a healthy dollop of freshly whipped cream and drizzled with a lush caramel sauce.
These Apple Pie Cupcakes are hopelessly alluring. Sultry, sweet and innocently spiced, these petite cakes are a little slice of heaven. If you have room for one more naughty indulgence before you hit the stairmaster look no further, this is the cupcake you want to go out on.
Moist, sweet and saucy, these Apple Pie Cupcakes are downright evil.
