Apple Pie Cupcakes Recipe

  • 1 sweet red apple, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 24 muffins cups or line with paper liners.
  2. Process red apple through a food processor until minced; transfer to a bowl. Process Granny Smith apple through a food processor until minced; transfer to a separate bowl.
  3. Combine cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl using an electric mixer or by hand until batter is smooth. Fold 1/2 cup sweet apple and 1/2 cup Granny Smith apples into batter.
  4. Spread graham cracker crumbs onto a piece of waxed paper; add cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour butter over crumbs and mix using your hands until crumbs are moist. Fill each muffin cup with 1 teaspoon crumb mixture and fill the remainder with batter. Sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture over batter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 17 minutes. Cool cupcakes in tin for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
