It’s in the middle of the night when your baby starts screaming because of a sky-high fever. You’re bleary-eyed while reading the instructions on the medicine box—and performing mathematical equations at 3:00 AM to figure out how much medicine she should get is nerve-wracking.

There’s no better way to welcome the school year than with cupcakes. And these apple cupcakes are absolutely adorable—and super easy to make, too.
