Ingredients

6 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp butter, melted

3 tbsp white sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup apple cider

2 tsp vanilla extract

56g cream cheese, softened

4 tbsp butter, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a stand mixer, combine brown sugar, melted butter, and white sugar. Add eggs and mix well. Then add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt; mix until combined. Next, add apple cider and vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 2 minutes.

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, around 20 more minutes.

While the cupcakes are cooling, use a stand mixer to blend cream cheese and softened butter. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until the frosting is creamy. Top the cooled cupcakes with frosting.
