Spiced apple cupcakes baked with fall spices cinnamon and cardamom. I love to smell the combination that the apples, cinnamon, and cardamom as these cupcakes bake.

I believe it is officially fall. We actually had our first frost this morning. For Minnesota, this is pretty late in the year for us to have our first frost, but I can’t say that I mind. There will be a lot of cold weather coming our way in the next months. It may be too early to say this, but I can’t wait for spring to come.

I love fall, the chilly crisp air, and the fall colors. Now if we could only avoid all the snow and the below zero weather that comes after fall I would be a happy lady. But I believe that would be asking too much living for where I live. I know that since I have lived here all of my life I should be alright with the winter weather, but the older I get the less I enjoy it.

But as it is fall I love baking with apples and pumpkin. The flavors and the smells of baked goods with apples and pumpkins are always my favorites at this time of the year.

And spice cake has always been a favorite in our house. Mike actually prefers a spice cake over a chocolate cake any day of the week. And as for me, chocolate cake will always win my heart, but I do love a great spice cake. As for these spiced apple cupcakes, I can say they won my heart; they are perfect for a fall dessert.

    I’d vote for chocolate cake, but spiced apple cake is awfully good. How about both? 🙂

    Like Mike, I think I would probably choose the spice cake over the chocolate cake. (Now chocolate isn’t too far behind, but a good spice cake is really hard to beat!) Great idea making some cupcakes using fresh apples…we have SO many apples on our countertop right now! 🙂
