Apple Cheesecake Cupcakes

It’s Cinco De Mayo and for us that means fight night. We host at our house because next week we will be at my sister’s house for Mother’s day.

Fight night means a bunch of out of shape men yelling at a bunch of in shape rich men and me running around making sure that everyone is happy. I noticed that we had an abundance of Chocolate based snacks but I still wanted to make some cupcakes. Removing chocolate out of the ingredient list left me with very few offerings so I hit the internet to come up with an alternative.

Voila! By way of a site called “Just Putzing.com” I found exactly what I was looking for, a Cheese cake, apple cupcake.

This recipe is of the variety that I like. It looks difficult but really isn’t. The apple topping is made from scratch and I recommend sticking to that strategy because unlike the store brought apple topping, you can tune this in to your liking. I guess you can tune the store brought stuff in to but there is much more satisfaction in cutting, coring and cooking the apples in a saucepan. Don’t be afraid to add a little “KICK” to the lemon juice and cinnamon for the apples. A touch of whiskey goes a long way with the fellas.
