Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Apple Cider Cupcakes:
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • For the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (as needed for texture)

Instructions

  1. Reduce the cider: Pour apple cider into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to about ¾ cup. Let cool completely.
  2. Mix the cupcake batter: Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and cooled cider reduction.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin. Fill liners ⅔ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  5. Make buttercream: Beat butter in a stand mixer until creamy. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Slowly add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk or cream for desired consistency.
  6. Frost and decorate: Once cupcakes are cool, frost generously. Add cinnamon or caramel for extra flair, if desired.
