While you may be tempted to skip this apple butter frosting recipe and just slather plain apple butter on your cupcakes (and I couldn't blame you), I highly recommend giving the apple butter frosting a try. It's got brown sugar, apple butter, and cinnamon and is perfect for any Fall cupcake or for eating with a spoon! It's sweet, but not too sweet, and if you love apple butter (like me), you may have found your new favorite frosting.
I put the frosting on pumpkin cupcakes with rum and maple.
This is one of those recipes that came out of my head and worked perfectly the very first time I tried it. It's a good day when that happens!

OMG OMG! I <3333 apple butter, but recently I've been having an affair with pumpkin butter!
Thanks for this recipe!
PS: I gave you an award on my blog :D
What a great idea. I just made apple butter this weekend but I don't even remember ever eating it before so I am on the lookout for recipes. I think I will give this a try.
While slathering my toast with apple butter this morning, I wondered what it would be like beaten into buttercream. And an hour later you've given me the answer!
It looks absolutely divine :)
Wow, you are awesome, I was just about to start searching for an apple butter frosting recipe and here it pops up. Thanks so much!
I made apple butter at home, but it looks a lot more runny than the proper stuff so we'll see how it goes.
This sounds soo delicious. I can't wait for cupcakes to go with it!
Oh, that sounds DELISH! Thanks for the recipe! Now I just have to get the apple butter away from babygirl who has been slathering it on to anything toasted!

Oh Yum... It looks great! But I don't think I've ever tried Apple Butter before... This will be on my list of Thanksgiving Goodies!
Oh no, I don't want to skip one thing. Delicious!!! I am going to try this soon! What a great fall flavor and alternative to pumpkin (which I love but sometimes people forget there are other fall flavors!).
yum. I made apple butter in the crockpot last week, and I have a ton still. Good to know it's so useful!

I could eat that frosting with a spoon, seriously!
Mmmmmm aaaaaaple buuuuuuter! LOVE IT! Trying this for sure!
I made these last night - FANTASTIC! Thank you so much!
I made this frosting for some apple cider cupcakes today and it was AMAZING! The only problem was that the icing sort of overshadowed the flavor of the cupcakes, but I will definitely make it again! I think next time I will put it on a hot milk cake. Thanks for the recipe!
