Apple Cider Cupcakes with Apple Butter Frosting

I had an idea when I decided to do this recipe. I wanted to have an apple cider cupcake with a crushed pecan crust of sorts. Technically, that's what I got, but the crust part sucks and brings down the whole cupcake. Luckily, it practically falls right off and you can pretend it never existed. Both the cake and the frosting were obtained from Cupcake Project.
 
The best part of these cupcakes was the smell of autumn and apples and all that goodness that gets spoiled by winter.
