I can’t even begin to tell you how good these Apple Cupcakes with Creamy Lemon Yogurt Frosting are. If you just want a delicious apple cake, you can bake this in a 8″x8″ pan. But combine the apple cake with this lemon yogurt frosting and it becomes heavenly! I kid you not. Don’t skip the lemon in the frosting or as the garnish. It absolutely makes this dessert special.

The cake is made with homemade applesauce. I know what you are thinking, but don’t fret! It’s about as easy as it can be. I suppose you could use a ready made chunky applesauce, but it would contain more liquid and I mean…how hard is it to boil down diced apples for 10 minutes? The apples make this one of the moistest cakes you will ever make.

If you want, you can make the cupcakes and put them in freezer bags and freeze them without frosting for later enjoyment. I always do this. It’s nice to be able to pull out a few at a time and you can whip up a batch of the frosting in less than 5 minutes.

The frosting is vegan vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest and confectioner’s sugar. I chose to make mine a bit thinner…more like a glaze. Want a thicker frosting-like consistency? Just add more confectioner’s sugar or cut down on the liquids.
