Back to School Apple Cupcakes
It seems like summer just began, yet somehow back to school season is already upon us.
Some kids are always excited to get back to school, but others… well, not so much. Who knows… maybe whipping up a batch of these cute apple cupcakes will help to get the kids in the back to school spirit.
Either way, one thing that the kids are sure to love are these adorable apple-shaped cupcakes.
So grab the little ones, head into the kitchen, and whip up a batch.
They are super simple to make, and the kids will love to help sticking the pretzels and green candies on top.

Or, you can opt to send a tray of these bad boys in for the whole class to enjoy on the first day of school. That would basically make you the coolest mom ever. 🙂
Teacher Appreciation Day Cupcakes
These apple cupcakes can double as teacher appreciation day cupcakes too. A tray of these fun apple-shaped cupcakes in the teacher’s lounge is sure to make every teacher’s day a little bit brighter!
