I’m excited to be here today for Cindy’s Teacher
Appreciation series! I’m Leigh Anne and I blog over at Your Homebased Mom where I love sharing everything pretty and delicious. When my children were in school one of my favorite volunteer jobs was being in charge of teacher appreciation week. Teachers are my heroes and I love showing them how much we appreciate them.
I am now the mother of a teacher and have even more appreciation for teachers! Today I am here to share with you a fun idea to show the teacher’s in your life how much you appreciate them. Apple cupcakes are easy to make. You can of course make everything from scratch or you can used a cake mix and canned frosting. I used a red velvet cake mix and made my favorite buttercream frosting and tinted it red.
I baked them in some cute little red and white polka dot cupcake liners. I like to pile on the frosting. Make the frosting higher in the middle to make it look more like an apple. Make sure the frosting reaches all the way to the edges of the cupcake liner.
Dip the frosted top into a bowl full of your red sprinkles.
Use a pretzel stick as your apple stem.
For the apple leaf I bought some spearmint leaves that I cut in half.
Then because it’s all in the presentation, you can package the cupcake in a cute little box and tie it up with some ribbon and your teacher will love it.
