Low Sugar Apple Cinnamon Bun Cupcake With Apple Cheesecake Frosting

 

Here I go again! I was tinkering around the kitchen and just brought out a bunch of ingredients and this is what I came up with. I think this is my favorite creation so far. It tastes sweet even though each cupcake has just 6 grams of sugar. I try to stay under 8 in everything I eat so this is perfect. It’s sweet and decadent and hits the spot when the sweet tooth has a noose around my neck and is screaming for something sweet. Creating in the kitchen is cathartic for me, it’s therapy! I can be having the worst day, fibromyalgia and back problems almost bringing me to my knees and I can whip something in a mixing bowl and all is right with the world. I block everything out and just focus on the food.

Sorry on this one I did not get all of the nutritional info that I usually do because today the pain was a bit more unbearable even though I was doing what I love so I left that out for now with the exception of the sugar content. I am also including a bunch of pictures because if you are anything like me, you do better with something to see easier than to just read it. I hope you enjoy this one as much as my family did. This recipe yielded 16 cupcakes for me and there are only 8 left now, just an hour after the last one was frosted. So you may want to hide one or two for yourself.

Cream cheese frosting recipe to follow

 

Apple Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

2 pkgs fat-free cream cheese softened to room temp

2 cups Splenda granulated

1 cup sugar-free cool whip

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup low sugar apple juice

1/8 cup organic 2% milk ( I use organic whenever I can)

 

Cheesecake Frosting Recipe:

 

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl ( glass works best)

Use a hand or stand mixer or your hand will hurt, I promise lol

mix on high!!

Mix until smooth and creamy

 

Frost each cupcake with as little or as much as you like. You will probably have extra and just a tip, it tastes awesome on graham crackers 🙂

Cupcakes need to be covered and refrigerated and stay good for up to 3-4 days.

ENJOY!!!!!!
