Muses and the Fall




I have a Muse. She is wonderful and she inspires tasty treats. Last week's oh so decadent Short Dark and Sexy were inspired by her in honor of her birthday. This week she has worked her magic again in a special flavor to kick off a (slow) start of fall.

Apparently September is apple month or something. I don't know if this is actually true, I'm just going with my Muse told me. I do know they are a perfect representation of fall though. Cutting up the apples for the cupcakes made my whole kitchen smell all fall-like. Better than any fancy candle.



This week's cupcake is a Caramel Apple Cupcake. White cake flavored with apple cider and filled with diced red and green apples. Topped with a caramelly (which is totally a word despite what spell check may say) brown butter frosting and a drizzle of caramel.

This is the same frosting from the bacon cupcakes and goes perfectly with the apples. In fact, it goes perfectly by itself which is why I am currently trying to keep my distance from the piping bag.
