Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
In a medium saucepan, boil the apple cider over medium-high heat until it is reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 18 minutes.
Let cool. If amount of cider is more than one cup, boil the cider a bit longer. If it is less, just add a bit more cider.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light in color.
Add eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition until fully incorporated.
Add sifted flour, allspice, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and the cup of concentrated apple cider.
Pour the batter into paper-lined muffin tins.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.
In the bowl of a countertop mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter for 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Add the Kahlua Pumpkin Spice and 1 cup of confectioners sugar, and mix until fully incorporated. Continue adding the confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time and mixing after each addition until fully incorporated. Frost each cupcake.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cupcakes works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
