How to Make the Apple Cider Walnut Cupcake?
Well, this Apple Cider Walnut Cupcake recipe is requiring us a few steps to follow.

First, Oven must be preheated to 350°F. Next, line up two cupcake trays with 24 cups.
After that, beat cake mix, apple cider, eggs, oil, and apple pie spice on low speed with an electric mixer until blended. Then, beat at medium speed for two minutes.

Right after the beating of the mixture, pour it into the bowl and incorporate the walnuts. Once done, scoop the batter into the cupcake molds and bake it for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

When time is over, allow cupcakes to call in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Another 15 to 20 minutes is needed to ensure that cupcakes are completely cooled. Just top these with your chosen frosting and walnut, then viola! You just made your own Apple Cider Walnut Cupcake.
Final Notes:
Can I add vanilla?
Absolutely. It didn’t really need it due to using apple cider.
Can this be made without icing?
Yes, it tastes like an apple nut muffin.
How do you choose Buttercream versus Cream cheese?
The cream cheese gives a tangy sweet and very smooth flavor to the apple cider cupcakes. Whereas, the buttercream will be sweeter and not have the tang.
