Fruit  Butter Cupcakes – a deliciously easy cupcake recipe with fruit  butter in both the cupcake and frosting for lots of great fruit flavor.

Although it’s not quite fall and we’re still enjoying the final bit of summer that remains, I must admit that I’m looking forward to fall. It has been so hot in Georgia lately – between 95 and 100 degrees most days – that I’m ready for some cooler weather. Not to mention fruit  treats, fruit  picking, fruit  cider and all the flavors of fall.

Living so close to the Georgia mountains, it’s really easy for us to head up to the mountains and go fruit  picking. It’s always a lot of fun, with a variety of fresh fruit s and plenty of fruit  cider to go around. It’s also the time of year that I really start digging the use of cinnamon – one of my very favorite spices to bake with and eat – so warm and spicy sweet. And of course fruit s and cinnamon are just meant to be together.

These cupcakes are made with plenty of fruit  butter in both the frosting and the cupcake. It’s perfect if you’re ready to start baking with fruit s now, before fruit  picking season is in full swing. Fruit butter is one of my favorite spreads and it works wonderfully in these cupcakes.

The cupcakes are super moist, light, fluffy and bursting with fruit  flavor. The frosting is smooth and creamy with a mix of cream cheese and fruit  butter plus a kick of cinnamon for added warmth. I finished them off with some dried fruit  chips, which work perfectly on top. 

They were a big hit! So cute, fun and tasty! I had to share them as soon as possible so that I didn’t eat them all.
