Not that there's ever a bad time for cupcakes, but fall seems like an especially perfect time for them. I'm always in need of a dessert for a school bake sale, or a treat for a ballgame, or a dessert for a tailgate or gathering, and cupcakes are my go-to dessert. They're easy to make, loved by all, and the fall flavors you can incorporate are endless.
From pumpkin to hot chocolate, apple, and beyond, there are so many warm and welcoming fall themes that pop perfectly in cupcakes. Here are five of the most fantastic fall-inspired cupcake recipes.

I don't have a fall inspired favorite. I'd love to try the run raisin in your article. And carrot cake is always good.
I love making pumpkin spice cupcakes and so easy. They are my dd's favorite.
The carrot cake ones look really good. They aren't supposed to put how many calories are in them. It just ruined it for me lol
My favorite fall cupcakes to make are apple caramel cupcakes or maple walnut cupcakes with candied walnuts. :)
I like anything pumpkin and I have also made Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcakes that were good.
I don't really make specialty cupcakes
Those hot chocolate ones look so fun! I haven't ever really tried any fun flavors of cupcakes that are out of the ordinary chocolate and vanilla. I should!
Yum!!
yumm! that hot chocolate cup cake looks yummy.
