Mini Apple Pie Cakes are the ultimate fall dessert, and they’re great for any occasion. They’re the perfect take-along snacks for small groups, bake sales, holiday parties, or just a cozy weekend at home. You get all the classic apple pie flavor but in a handheld, mess-free cake form — no forks or plates needed! Plus, they look absolutely adorable on a dessert table.
Tips for Making the Perfect Apple Pie Cakes
Use Fresh Apples– Gala apples are perfectly sweet for baking and they’re my favorite. If you can’t find Gala apples, try Fuji apples.
Don’t skip the Spices – use all of the spices listed in the recipe to get the perfect apple cinnamon flavor.
Use a Mini Muffin Tin – using a muffin tray keeps these mini cakes perfectly portioned and separated while they cook.
Use an Apple Peeler and Corer- this all-in-one tool saves you time in the kitchen, allowing you to peel, slice, and core apple in seconds.

Mini Apple Pie Cakes
What You Need:
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Apple Pie Spice
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
10 Chopped Apples (Gala)
24 oz. Ginger Ale (2 cans)
2 Boxes of Spice Cake Mix
Walnuts (optional)
Caramel Sauce (optional)
Whipped Cream (optional)
Yields 24 Mini Apple Pie Cakes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325. Use a 3-in-1 apple peeler, corer, and slicer to prep the apples. Chop them and add the spices.
Mix the cake mix and ginger ale. Do not add the ingredients on the back of the Spice cake mix- only add the ginger ale.
Add apples to a muffin tin, then top with the cake mix and bake for 28 minutes.
Let the cakes cool in the muffin tray. Once cooled, flip the mini apple pie cakes using a cutting board.
Top with caramel sauce and serve. These also pair great with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!
Each Mini Apple Pie Cake starts with a soft, moist vanilla or spice cake base. The center is filled with a sweet apple pie mixture made from diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon — cooked just until tender. Top them with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-special touch.
