Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large apple
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup yogurt
1/4 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon all-spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Line a muffin tin with muffin papers and set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the apple and shred with a food processor.
You can use either a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer. In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients. (2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon all-spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt)
Use either a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer. Cream the butter in with the dry ingredients.
Add the eggs and mix in.
Mix in the 1/4 cup oil, 1/3 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup apple cider, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Fold in the shredded apple till it is just combined with the batter.
Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each well just over half full.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. When they are done baking, let them sit on the stovetop for 10 minutes, then remove them from the muffin tin.
Frost the cupcakes with vanilla frosting, or a frosting of your choosing. Or, enjoy with vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce.

Notes

These cupcakes can be frozen. Let fully cool down, then store in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
If you do not have apple cider, you could use apple juice or apple sauce.
