For fall, these Pumpkin Cupcakes with Caramel Apple Candy Corn Buttercream are a great treat. A creamy and flavorful buttercream that tastes like a mix of caramel, apples, and candy corn is spread on top of the spiced and moist pumpkin cupcakes. Perfect for Halloween or any other fall event!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For Caramel Apple Candy Corn Buttercream:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup candy corn, crushed for garnish

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

You can line a cupcake tin with paper liners

Put flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium-sized bowl and mix them together with a whisk

Put away

Mix the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Add the eggs one at a time and beat well

Then, add the pumpkin puree and mix well

Mix the dry ingredients in while adding the buttermilk and vanilla one at a time

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

After cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

While the butter is soft, beat it until it's smooth

This will make the Caramel Apple Candy Corn Buttercream

Add the powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and apple sauce one at a time, mixing well after each addition

Spread or pipe the buttercream on the cupcakes after they have cooled

To make it look nicer, sprinkle crushed candy corn on top of the buttercream

Have fun with your tasty Pumpkin Cupcakes with Caramel Apple Candy Corn Buttercream!
