Description

Apple Cider Whoopie Pies are a delightful fall treat that combines the flavors of apple cider and spices in a soft, cake-like cookie, filled with a creamy frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, apple cider, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
