Apple Spice Cupcakes

Submitted by Anomalyk

"I have been looking for a recipe for apple spice cupcakes for a long time, and this one has been the best by far! You can substitute apple pulp for the shredded apple if you have some available. I use a cream cheese frosting with a little bit of apple juice concentrate mixed in, and top with a little bit of ground walnuts. Enjoy!"
