For the Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F
Measure and prepare all ingredients. Make sure everything is room temperature. Chop 100 grams of a green apple (about half a medium apple) and blend with ¼ of the apple cider in a food processor until fully blended.
Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer on high speed, whip butter until smooth and creamy.
Add brown sugar to the butter and continue to whisk until fully combined
Add eggs. Whip until smooth, light, and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes
Add vanilla extract and LorAnn Apple Pie Spice Flavor
Combine all dry ingredients (sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, all spice) and mix together well.
Replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment. On low speed, slowly spoon in the dry mixture, alternating with the blended apple mixture, until fully incorporated.
While the stand mixer is running on low, slowly pour in hot apple cider. Mix until just incorporated.
Spoon into baking cups evenly. This batter will make 24 standard sized cupcakes.
Bake at 350°F for 14-16 minutes.
