Robynnes Blueberry Pie Cupcakes Recipes

SWEET POTATO BLUEBERRY PIE CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
• Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and beat slowly until it is smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and salt, and cream at moderate speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition before adding the next. Mix until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl to insure even mixing, about 5 minutes.
• Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside. Mix together the milk, sweet potatoes, orange juice and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add one-quarter of the flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture and beat just until blended in. Add one-third of the milk mixture and beat just until blended in. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, alternating the flour with the milk, until all the ingredients are used. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally for even mixing.
• Toss the blueberries together with the raw sugar in a small bowl.
• Scoop up the batter into the cupcake liners and lay 2 to 3 sugared blueberries on each cupcake. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 22 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
• For the blueberry filling: Put the blueberries, cornstarch, granulated sugar, raw sugar, cinnamon, orange zest and 2 tablespoons water into a saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced to a jam-like consistency, about 10 minutes.
• For the chantilly cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on high in a cold bowl; add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla bean seeds and whip until fluffy.
• Use a corer to remove the center of each cupcake and insert some blueberry filling. Cover each cupcake with the chantilly cream.

GRAMMY'S BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition.
• Crush 1/2 of the blueberries with a fork in a small bowl; mix into the batter. Gently fold remaining blueberries into the batter and fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
• Stir sugar and cinnamon for topping together in a small bowl; sprinkle over cupcakes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool in the tin for 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

ROBYNNE'S BLUEBERRY PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. CRUST Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and mix together thoroughly, either using a food processor or crush with mallet in large ziplock bag. The mixture should stick when you pinch the crumbs but still stay light a fluffy when broken apart. Place one tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs in each cupcake liner and press down, forming a compact crust. Bake for 4-6 minutes until the crust turns a slight golden brown.
• 2. CAKE & FILLING Prepare cake mix as directed. Stir in extracts until well incorporated. Fill cupcakes liners 1/2 full with cake batter. Add 1 teaspoon of pie filling on top of batter, then finish filling cupcakes about 3/4. Be careful not to overfill. Bake as directed. Cool completely.
• 3. FROSTING Add whipping cream to a large chilled bowl. Using a mixer, begin whipping the cream, increasing the speed as the cream thickens. Gradually mix in the pudding mix, extracts and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. I recommend you adding the extracts a little at a time, to achieve your desired flavor preference.
• 4. GARNISH (optional) I sprinkled a mixture of cinnamon and powered sugar, a dab of pie filling (no fruit) on top of frosting and finished with a fresh blueberry. Enjoy!
