Ingredients

For the cupcakes:
• 1¾ cups flour
• 1 cups Bauman's Apple Butter
• 1½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 (5oz.) can evaporated milk
• ½ cup margarine or butter
• 1 cup sugar
• Cinnamon (optional)
• 1 egg

For the frosting:
• ½ cup margarine or butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup milk
• 3½ cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. In a small mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl beat margarine or butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.
2. Add sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Beat in apple butter and vanilla. Stir lemon juice into milk (mixture will curdle).
3. Add flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to apple butter mixture, beating on low to medium speed after each addition just until combined.
4. Grease muffin cup or line with paper bake cups; fill two-thirds full. Bake in a 350 oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
5. For the frosting - melt margarine or butter and stir in brown sugar. Cook and stir until bubbly. Remove from heat and add milk, stirring until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until spreadable. Frost cooled cupcakes immediately. (If frosting thickens, stir in hot water, a few drops at a time, until spreading consistency again.)
