Who is ready for all things apple? I am counting down the days until we can go apple picking…and until then I’m making Apple Pie Cupcakes to hold me over!
I think jury duty is kind of a crock. I mean, I get it, really I do. If I ever get arrested, I hope to have a panel of twelve of my peers to decide I’m innocent, but as a registered voter it’s really kind of annoying, especially since I got called over the summer.
My first notice had me reporting to duty smack dab in the middle of summer. Setting aside the fact that I own my own business and am the only employee, so if I don’t work I don’t get paid, Jordan is now 11 and I can’t use “stay at home mom” as an exemption. Really, that’s total you-know-what because I work full time from home so that I can also be a full time mom. I pushed the date off until this week, because at least then school would be in session.
As the date neared, I started to really stress out. Mel had to plan a trip, so I’d have no child care. I have my race in two weeks (OMG) so what happens if it’s a long trial and the judge is a jerk? I also have two more trips in September for work.
For some reason, there is no “I’m getting anxiety thinking about how to work and be in LA and be a full time mom and be at court” exemption. Luckily the nice jury duty clerk let me put it off again, until October.
You know what that means, right? Murphy’s law says that I’ll spend the rest of fall on some sort of murder trial or something. (Dude, that better not happen. Can you imagine?)
I guess I better get all my fall baking done NOW, just in case.
Besides pumpkin, apple recipes are my favorite come this time of year. Apple pie is my favorite dessert, after all, so I love turning it into other recipes. I’ve done french toast, pancakes, magic bars, and now cupcakes!
For this recipe I used my favorite vanilla cupcakes and frosting and I filled them with easy homemade apple pie filling and topped them with a pie crust dipper (because you can’t have pie without the crust!)
The beauty of these cupcakes is you can start with my recipe or a boxed cupcake, or even get some plain cupcakes from the bakery section at the grocery store. You can substitute a canned icing (although my homemade recipe is SUPER easy and way better tasting). You can even make the pie crust chips from a refrigerated pie crust (or use my homemade all butter pie crust recipe).
Basically, these cupcakes can be as easy as making your own homemade pie filling (or, man, you could even cheat there!) or go all out and make it all from scratch. I won’t tell, no matter what you do. 🙂
