Apple Spiced Cupcakes

Directions

1. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or line with patty pan cases. Preheat oven to 200oC.
2. Sift together flour, mixed spice, McCormick Nutmeg Ground and castor sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Mix the apple juice, milk, butter and eggs and pour into the dry mix. Using a metal spoon, stir gently to combine.
3. Spoon mix carefully into the patty pan cases, then place in preheated oven. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire cake rack.
4. When cakes are cold, combine icing sugar with just enough boiling water to make a thick paste, and ice the top of each cake carefully. Sprinkle each with a little McCormick Organic Ground Cinnamon, then top with a glace cherry. If you can find it, decorate with sprigs of holly or fresh apple leaf but remove before eating.
