What Ingredients Are Needed For Fall Flavor Cupcakes?

Unsalted Butter- Always buy unsalted butter for baking, then add salt as needed. This is a quality-control technique to produce better baked goods
Light Brown Sugar– Brown sugar is soft and fluffy and needs to be packed into the measuring cups for proper portioning. Always pack brown sugar when measuring, unless the recipe states otherwise
Eggs- At room temperature, egg yolks break more easily, allowing them to mix more evenly with the egg whites and other ingredients
Salt– All baked goods taste better with a touch of salt
Baking Powder-To lift your cupcakes
Baking Soda– Necessary for the perfect leveling
Cinnamon– Supporting role in this recipe
Nutmeg– Supporting role in this recipe
All Purpose Flour– When in doubt, always go with “all purpose” flour
Spiced Apple Cider or Apple Juice
Apples- Star of the Show!
