This recipe can be made two ways - as a cupcake or teacakes (omitting the frosting and caramelized apples) or both depending on how sweet you like your dessert. Apple spice cake with a bit of apple pie flavor fused together into a cupcake with a cinnamon vanilla buttercream topped with maple syrup caramelized apples or teacakes with the same apple spice moist cake without the toppings. The cakes freeze well (without frosting) in a tightly sealed container up to 2 months.
