Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk together until well blended, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, alternating with the whole milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing gently.
- Spoon the batter into prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full, and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a medium bowl, mix together light brown sugar, pure maple syrup, and toasted pecans for the filling.
- Once the cupcakes cool, fill each with the pecan filling using a small spoon.
- To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until silky smooth.
- Frost each cooled cupcake with the cream cheese frosting and drizzle with caramel-pecan glaze.
