Creating Cinnamon Apple Cider Cupcakes can be simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
3. Cream Butter: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Incorporate Cider and Vanilla: Add the apple cider and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
8. Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
