Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces Spice Cake Mix 1 box
  • cups apple cider
  • 3 eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup grated apple

  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, add cake mix, apple cider, eggs, and oil and beat with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.
  • Fold in grated apples.
  • Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
