Apple Cupcakes for Teacher Appreciation

Make these cute apple cupcakes to show your children’s teachers how much you love them.

Teachers are my heroes and I love showing them how much we appreciate them. When my children were younger, my favorite parent volunteer job was being in charge of Teacher Apprecation Week.

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. They are so easy to make the kids will have fun making them for their teachers.

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.
