I've been seeing lots of recipes for Blue Moon beer cupcakes on Pinterest lately. Blue Moon isn't my favorite beer, so I went with Shock Top's new Honeycrisp Apple Wheat instead. Add some apple pie filling to kick up the delicious apple cinnamon flavor! Makes about 20 cupcakes.
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker Spice Cake mix
1 cup Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat beer (room temperature)
1/2 cup apple pie filling
3 eggs
1 tub cream cheese flavored cake frosting
Directions:
1. Place cake mix in a large mixing bowl.
2. Chop up the apples from the pie filling into bite-sized pieces so they will distribute evenly.
3. Add beer, apple pie filling and eggs to the cake mix. Stir until well combined. You don't need the other ingredients listed on the cake mix box(water, oil, etc.).
4. Place cupcake liners in your cupcake pans and pour in cake batter. Cups should be about two thirds full.
5. Bake according to cake mix directions, or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Note: You can try other flavor combinations as well! Orange or raspberry wheat beers would do well in yellow or lemon cakes. Dark beers like Guinness would do well in chocolate cakes.
