IronCupcake Earth: Apple!

As a college student, I constantly find myself wishing I were back in Kindergarten-- taking naps, playing with Play-doh, and having snacktime. With that in mind, I've created a cupcake that combines the best of those days of apple juice, graham crackers, and no homework.

Kindergarten Cupcakes

For the cupcakes:

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup applesauce, lightly sweetened

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 cup grated apple (preferably Johnathon or Braeburn)

For the topping:

6 graham crackers, crushed roughly

3 tbsp butter, unsalted

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp honey

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all cupcake ingredients, folding in the shredded apple last. Spoon into buttered and floured muffin tin. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and brown sugar. Sprinkly over the top of the cupcakes and bake for 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle with honey.

If you like the cupcake (or even just the photo), please vote for it! Voting will begin no later than Friday, November 27th at 8 p.m. at NO ONE PUTS CUPCAKE IN A CORNER, http://www.ironcupcakemilwaukee.com and will be open through Thursday, December 3 at 12 noon
